La traslación de una metáfora, de Erving Gofman a Enrique IV

The correlation between a dramatic situation and event is one of the constants of the theatrical universe that affects equally its textual component and that related to the scenic representation. This article attempts to analyze the link between these two cate-gories from the dramaturgical approach of the American sociol-ogist Erving Goffman. For this task I choose as a sample the play Henry IV by the Italian writer Luigi Pirandello.
