| Summary | "Electra" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a drama written in the late 19th century. The play centers around the titular character, Electra, who is a young girl navigating her identity and relationships in a luxurious household in Madrid, amidst the social changes of her time. It explores themes of familial obligation, personal freedom, and the legacy of one's past. The opening of the drama sets the stage in the opulent home of the García Yuste family, introducing various characters who are concerned about Electra's upbringing after her return from school. The dialogue hints at Electra's spirited and mischievous nature, as well as the anxieties of the adults around her regarding her moral development. Characters such as the Marqués de Ronda express their curiosities about Electra, while others, like Don Urbano and Evarista, discuss her potential and the specter of her mother's troubled past. This foundational segment establishes a dynamic interplay between innocence and the societal expectations weighing on Electra, effectively setting up the conflicts and themes that will unfold throughout the play.
