  "La bona gent: Obra en quatre actes" by Santiago Rusiñol is a theatrical play written in the early 20th century. This work explores societal dynamics through the lens of characters involved in a pawnbroking establishment, revealing the struggles and interactions among the economically deprived and the well-off. The play presents a rich tapestry of characters including Sr. Batista, the pawnbroker, who navigates the moral complexities related to his business and interactions with customers and family. The opening of the play introduces us to a bustling pawnbroker's shop where various characters come and go, each bringing their struggles and personal histories. Sr. Batista is depicted as shrewd yet sympathetic, often reflecting on the nature of poverty and human dignity as he deals with customers like a desperate woman seeking money for her sick husband. The conversations among Batista's employees and customers reflect a blend of humor and commentary on social class, loyalty, and the harsh realities of life. As the characters navigate their relationships, Rusiñol sets the stage for deeper explorations of themes such as familial obligation, societal norms, and individual aspirations.

  "Gent d'ara" by Eduard Coca i Vallmajor is a stage comedy written in the early 20th century. It satirizes the clash between tradition and modernity in a Barcelona household where a stern shopkeeper father, Rimbau, demands his son Joanet join the family business while the son yearns to become an architect; Rosa, the level‑headed mother, is torn, as a pompous moralist (Don Ignasi), a sharp, ironic neighbor (Joseph), and Joseph's literary wife Mercedes stir the pot. Expect brisk domestic skirmishes, witty needling, and a humorous portrait of "people of today" pushing against old certainties. The opening of this play sets the conflict in motion: in their old Barcelona flat, Rimbau scolds Rosa and condemns Joanet's studies, enlisting Don Ignasi to preach parental authority, while neighbors Mercedes (a self‑styled intellectual novelist) and her sardonic husband Joseph drift in, trading barbs. Joseph quietly learns from the maid that father and son have already clashed, then counsels the arriving Joanet and his friend Lluis to stay respectful yet firm. A family gathering erupts when Rimbau publicly berates his son and even threatens violence, leaving Rosa in tears as Act I falls. At the start of Act II in the Vallcarca summer house, Don Ignasi pushes Rosa to side with the father, but she defends Joanet's vocation; tensions simmer over lunch, Joseph and Mercedes bicker about her writing, Joanet bursts out over insults to his mother, and Rosa pleads for calm. Mercedes attempts a dramatic reading of her novel, but as Don Ignasi sneaks off to corner Joanet and others slip away, the reading collapses and the family's generational standoff remains unresolved.

  L'ignoscenta by Joan Puig i Ferreter is a tragic stage play written in the early 20th century. Set in a Pyrenean castle in the late 17th century, it probes honor, vengeance, and the devastating consequences of sexual violence and buried family ties. Anxious after his daughter Dorotea vanishes, the old noble Pacià waits as search parties scour the countryside. Dorotea returns at last, pale and rigid, and tells her husband Pere d'Ildevert and her father that a stranger abducted and assaulted her in a cave; at dawn he recognized her by a medallion of her mother, cried for pardon, and killed himself. When the body is brought to the castle, Pacià recognizes the dead man as his long-lost son—Dorotea's brother—who, consumed by hatred of Ildevert, had vowed to harm the woman he married, unaware she was his own sister until too late. Faced with the horror, Dorotea takes her own life, and Ildevert, shattered, begs forgiveness as the tragedy closes.
