The last word of the play, "resucita," is not only the key note
of thedrama, but the summing up of Galdós' desires, and the
expression of hisambition for his country and his countrymen.
The purpose of the play and the spirit of the author are
accuratelyvoiced by Lopez Ballesteras, in the Heraldo, January
31, 1901. "Lastnight," said he, "will mark a great date in history
for the Spanishtheatre and for liberty. It is a movement of social
and politicalrenovation, Spain demands light and liberty; she
demands the right tolive under modern, European conditions;
she is coming to life."
