Nietzsche in Domingo Miras’ Aurora: overhuman qualities
Abstract
This article deals with a play, titled Aurora, which was published in 2002 by the Spanish playwright Domingo Miras (National Prize for Dramatic Literature in 2000). First, we present the text and the hypotext that gives rise to it. And secondly, we delve into the influence of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in the work, focusing on those overhuman qualities that the characters unite, above all, the protagonist Aurora, who could embody some of the characteristics of the Nietzschean overwoman, but also, in Don Quinito, who proclaims himself the overman throughout the text. Thus, we will use some of Nietzsche’s lines of thought as a methodology to verify the way in which they are manifested in this work by Domingo Miras.
