    Annotation:

    The Devotion of the Cross and The Purgatory of Saint Patrick are a good example of the continuous exercise of the interest that Calderón shows for auto-rewriting and use of own materials. Certainly, these two religious comedies share the turn to repentance from a sinner, the central presence of the symbol of the cross, the miracle of the soul that does not abandon the body and allows the salvation and the design of the comic agent. In short, it is a case that reveals some of the dramatic keys of the poet and his effort of perfection between different works.
