Abstract

«Amor», «magia» y «tiempo» son temas integrales en La Celestina gracias, sobre todo, a la magistral alianza que se establece entre los tres para llevar a buen puerto literario la intención última de la Tragicomedia. Concebida, ante todo, como magnífica y contundente reprobatio amoris, manipula con singular habilidad al tiempo y a la magia para arreciar la eficacia de la lección perseguida: el primero se comprime al máximo en unos cuantos días representados, mientras que se alarga implícitamente sin plazo, para evidenciar la precipitación vertiginosa del pecado amoroso; la segunda justifica, precisamente, la inmediatez de la caída pasional, agravando la culpabilidad de los intervinientes. Así, una comedia amorosa tan convencional como anodina, desemboca repentinamente, precipitada por las artes mágicas, en una tragicomedia admirable.«Love», «magic» and «time» are integral topics in La Celestina thanks to, above all, the masterly alliance established among all three topics in order to bring the ultimate intention of the Tragicomedia to a literary success. Designed, first of all else, as a magnificent and forceful reprobatio amoris, both time and magic are manipulated with a particular skill to increase the effectiveness of the pursued lesson: the former is compressed to the maximum in a couple of represented days, while it is tacitily lengthened without deadline, in order to demonstrate the vertiginous haste of loving sin; the latter justifies, precisely, the immediacy of the passionate fall, aggravating the participant's guilt. Thus, a love comedy as conventional as anodyne, ends suddenly, hastened by magic arts, in an admirable tragicomedy.
