Casona, always critical of the ills of civilized society--of the urban world--uses the theme of suicide as a backdrop for the central theme: the happiness and unhappiness of two brothers, two beings to whom fate reveals itself with two faces, like Janus. Justice or injustice has nothing to do with the heart or the feelings that govern relationships between humans. In the work, everything serves a central idea: the exaltation of life, the rejection of suicide. There is nothing to justify it because outside is Nature, embodied in spring, with all its power, with all its sap that rekindles the desire for joy.
