Las paredes oyen is an expression that came out of France in the second half od the 16th century. According to the stories of history, Catherine de Medici had constructed acoustic conductors in the walls of her palaces in order to listen to what the other inhabitants said and to know if they were conspiring against her. This eponymous piece questions the pathological lying and the compulsive slandering of the character of Don Juan, who in order to conquer Ana, pretends to be injured. Meanwhile, the virtuoso Don Mendo in whom some people see the author himself, observes spiteful events. Don Mendo, Dona Ana, Beltran, and the Count appear in all the works by Ruiz de Alarcon, wuch as La prueba de las promesas and El examen de maridos. Las paredes oyen es una expresi???n procedente de la Francia de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI. Segun cuenta la historia, Catalina de M???dicis hizo construir conductos ac???sticos en las paredes de sus palacios, para o???r lo que se hablaba en las otras habitaciones y as??? saber si se conspiraba en su contra. Esta pieza hom???nima cuestiona la mentira patol???gica y la maledicencia compulsiva del personaje de don Juan, quien para conquistar a Ana pretende injuriarla. Mientras, el virtuoso don Mendo en quien algunos han visto al propio autor, observa despechado los acontecimientos. Don Mendo, do???a Ana, Beltr???n y el Conde aparecen en otras obras de Ruiz de Alarc???n como La prueba de las promesas, El examen de maridos, El tejedor de Segovia, Los pechos privilegiados, Ganar amigos y La verdad sospechosa. La comedia tiene un trasfondo astrol???gico. Los planetas y signos evocados en el texto marcan un entorno mitol???gico y celestial regido por la Fortuna.
