Vega's drama creation in his life is not only huge, but also contains various themes. The impromptu comedies and pastoral dramas popular in the Italian Renaissance aroused his creative interest. Spain's popular "Robe and Sword Drama" is also his handy creative style; The small comedy Paso occupies a considerable proportion in his magnificent drama; Historical dramas based on ancient historical legends and alluding to realistic problems are also his masterpieces in creation. However, what really created Vega's immortal reputation was his drama on the realistic theme of peasant life and peasant riots.
In addition to the well-known Yangquan Village, Dogs in the Manger and Mineral Water in Madrid are also important plays by Vega. He also wrote a drama theory article "Today's New Script Art" (1609), advocating breaking the old script rules, reflecting real life and satisfying people's appreciation interest.
Vega lived in a historical period when the Catholic Church and feudal nobles exercised dictatorship over the people. Although the ideology of the Renaissance has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the tyranny of the aristocratic class has not been fundamentally lifted. The popular legal system in society represents the interests of the ruling class and is used to oppress the dissatisfaction and resistance of the general public. Born in poverty, Vega was deeply influenced by humanism, experienced ups and downs, and stood on the side of the people's interests consciously, creating many dramas reflecting the contradictions and struggles in reality and expressing the people's voices.
The ruling class was jealous of Vega's plays, which were banned before his death.
However, Vega's superb drama talent earned him dignity and a high reputation in life. 1635, he died in Madrid, and many people attended his funeral. People mourn this brilliant playwright, calling him "Phoenix of Genius", "Giant of Nature" and "the richest and poorest poet".
