Se analiza el drama Felipe Ángeles a partir de los planteamientos de George Bataille, quien afirmó que, por medio de sacrificios, los seres humanos han destruido su ser natural o animal para que subsista y se revele su verdad no corporal y espiritual. En la pieza teatral de Elena Garro, el juicio al general villista, no sólo se caracteriza como rito sacrificial sino también como espectáculo y farsa. Mientras que los adversarios de Felipe Ángeles se proponen otorgar apariencia legal a la eliminación de un adversario político, el general convierte el juicio en una acción pública que le permite construirse, por medio de su discurso ante el tribunal, como mártir que acepta ser sacrificado por sus ideas políticas, sus ideales y sus valores éticos. Reivindica de esta forma la soberanía de su Yo puro y su libertad interior; asimismo, esto posibilita trascender su muerte y que persista su ser espiritual.
The drama Felipe Ángeles is analyzed in accord with George Bataille's approach, who affirmed that by means of sacrifice, human beings have destroyed their natural or animal being, in order to be, and to reveal, their non-corporal, spiritual truth. In the theatrical work of Elena Garro, the judgement of the Villista general is not only characterized as a sacrificial ritual but also as a spectacle and farce. While the adversaries of Felipe Ángeles propose to give a legal appearance to the elimination of a political adversary, the general converts the trial into a public action which permits him to portray himself, by means of his discourse before the tribunal, as a martyr who accepts being sacrificed for his political ideas, his ideals, and his ethical values. He revindicates in this way the sovereignty of his pure I and his interior liberty; and at the same time, that makes possible the transcendence of his death and the persistence of his spiritual being.
