El Gran Teatro Del Mundo by Pedro Calderón de la Barca
An allegorical one-act drama in which a divine Author stages the world as a theater and summons representatives of different social types to perform assigned roles; as king, noble, merchant, peasant and others play out their parts, pride, vanity and devotion are revealed, and at the play’s end the Author judges each actor—rewarding those who fulfilled their duties with humility and faith and condemning those who mistook worldly honors for lasting good—offering a moral meditation on the transience of life and the duty of Christian conscience.
