She says, 'It occurred to me to get up and go to the windowsill. However, Doña Pepita admits to Carlos that she knows that he, Carlos, murdered him but can't confirm it. The immediate assumption is that Ignacio committed suicide. He is dead - murdered by Carlos because Carlos could not stand Ignacio's forcing him to face reality. Suddenly, Ignacio is brought in by other boys, who lay him on the sofa. Pepita idly stands by the window when she sees something that horrifies her. Carlos then also goes out to the playground. The remaining three talk for a while and reaffirm the sentiment that Ignacio has to leave. Ignacio tries to convey to Carlos what a blind person who longs to see feels. (Juana feels more compassion for Ignacio than anyone else.) One fateful night, Ignacio and Carlos are arguing. Carlos is rightfully suspicious of the friendship between his girlfriend Juana and Ignacio, who ends up seducing her. Carlos, one of the students at the institute, attempts to ease his depression but does not succeed. He meets a group of blind people there who appear to be happy, but his sense of dissatisfaction at losing the most marvelous of the senses is contagious and spreads through the group. Ignacio, however, always refuses to accept his blindness and struggles to find his way around. Everything there is so perfectly arranged that the students do not mind the fact that they cannot see. The play centers around Ignacio, who is admitted to an institute for the blind, managed by Don Pablo. A film of the same name was produced in 1958. En la ardiente oscuridad ( In the Burning Darkness) is a play by Antonio Buero Vallejo, written in 1947, which made its debut in The Teatro María Guerrero in Madrid on 1 December 1950.
