Abstract
The gracioso in Calderón is a result of a logical development of the comic element in drama. Humor was introduced early in the history of Spanish literature to represent an underlying trait in the character of the Spanish people, and the humorous element was centralized in a certain type of figure by process of a development in which dramatists and novelists for several centuries took part.
