The satirical component is a constant in the theatre of Federico García Lorca, in which coexist, to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the work involved, the comic and serious, both aspects inherent to satire. This combination, as well as the undeniable critical aspect inherent in Lorca‘s work, identifies this author with the figure of satiric. García Lorca performs his critical making use of humor, which ranges from the purely humorous to black humor, and is manifested by employing traditional techniques of satire, with the same purpose as the satiric: to degrade to the object of attack provoking smile or revulsion. This article discusses about Love of don Perlimplín and Belisa in his garden, identifying the object of attack of Lorca‘s satire in this work and the satirical techniques used by its author.
