Easy to read. Editor digital: Joan Queralt Gil "Els vells: Drama en tres actes" by Ignasi Iglesias is a dramatic work written in the early 20th century. This play unfolds in a working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Barcelona and revolves around the concerns of aging characters, mainly highlighting the struggles and vulnerabilities of the elderly as they navigate societal and familial dynamics. Key characters like Ursula, Joan, and Agustí illustrate the harsh realities of their lives, as they confront economic challenges and relationships. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Ursula and Susagna, who engage in a conversation that reveals their worries about their husbands and the difficulties of aging, especially in a world that marginalizes the elderly. The dialogue paints a vivid picture of their lives, filled with dread about financial instability and the fears that accompany their advancing years. They discuss the upcoming marriage of Ursula's daughter, Engracieta, to Agustí, while also lamenting their lost youth and uncertain futures. This opening sets the tone for the exploration of themes such as societal neglect of the elderly and the harsh realities of poverty, hinting at the emotional turmoil that will be further examined throughout the play.
