Abstract
In this thesis, the concepts used by Spanish playwright Antonio Buero Vallejo in his work called "In the Burning Darkness" and the reflections of Miguel de Unamuno in the work have been scrutinized. The conceptual symbols and the metaphors that the author uses in the play have been analyzed through existentialist approach. Vallejo is a writer, who closely witnessed the Spanish Civil War, which was one of Spain's largest destructions, and the practice of pressure, censorship and dictatorship following the Civil War. These traumas that Spain and himself had experienced is also observed in his work "In the Burning Darkness". These traumas do not express only social problems but also express the existentialist problems that could not be solved by the individual. Buero Vallejo evaluates the man in the tragic sense of life and indites his play in "In the Burning Darkness" within this approach. Vallejo, in his play "In the Burning Darkness", which is a three-act tragedy, could overcome the censorship of the period by benefiting from many metaphors and conceptual icons such as "blindness", "hope and despair", "light and dark" and "fake happiness". The drama tells the story of a group of blind students and the events take place in a school for the visually impaired. Vallejo expresses the situation in which Spain and Spanish society are in and at the same time the individual's existential inequality in the presence of the society by referring to the concept of "blindness". Buero Vallejo had highly been under the influence of Miguel de Unamuno, the Spanish writer and a thinker, one of the most important representatives of the 20th century European philosophy. Vallejo, just like Unamuno, also suffered a lot due to the problems faced by his family and the country and therefore, in his plays, his characters are ones who suffer, are disappointed and question the life and the aim of existence. Vallejo and Unamuno are pretty much the same in this aspect. In the play, "In the Burning Darkness" Unamuno's "Tragic Sense of Life" has been referred. Vallejo, who is considered as one of the most important drama writers of the 20th Century, while applying in his plays Aristotle's classical tragedy theory that Aristotle mentioned in his "Poetika", himself, also, absolutely brought some innovations to the tragedy. With the help of a technical specification he uses in his plays, he innately makes it possible to create such an appropriate atmosphere, in which his audience can identify with the character's mistakes, sufferings and problems, by dint of which he activates the audience's sense of Catharsis namely; sense of purification. By the virtue of this unique approach he introduced to the understanding of the theatre, he made a great impact through his works not only in Spain but all over the world.
