Summary:A critical explication of Tirso de Molina's "Tanto es lo de mas como lo de menos" that seeks to demonstrate authorial intent or knowledge and dramatic unity of seemingly disparate elements in the play is presented. An examination of non-biblical sources that Tirso used to frame his work reveals a univocal statement addressing both the religious and secular components of the play.
