Calderon holds a place in the golden age of Spanish literature as a poet of lasting significance. The preservation and defense of honor in a patriarchy is the central theme of his play The Mayor of Zalamea, in which a soldier violates the beautiful daughter of the mayor, who dispenses justice with vengeance, torture, and murder.
