Maya Gonzalez

Maya Gonzalez is a play by Jamuel Yaw Asare. The play which is built on poetic interludes is a tragedy which is set in Catalonia in Spain and Sultanate of Oman, an Arab country located in Western Asia. It is situated on the south-eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, and spans the mouth of the Persian Gulf. Oman shares land borders with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen, while sharing maritime borders with Iran and Pakistan. The coast is formed by the Arabian Sea on the southeast, and the Gulf of Oman on the northeast. The Madha and Musandam exclaves are surrounded by the United Arab Emirates on their land borders, with the Strait of Hormuz (which it shares with Iran) and the Gulf of Oman forming Musandam's coastal boundaries. Muscat is the nation's capital and largest city.

The plot is based on the relationship between Maya Gonzalez and Daniel Dacosta in Catalonia to Maya's murder in the chamber of Lamar Khan, the son of Sultan Khan in Sultanate of Oman.

The major antagonist or villain is Lamar Khan who is later killed by Daniel Dacosta in Catalonia when he comes to announce the sudden demise of Maya Gonzalez before the household of the Gonzalez at night. Daniel Dacosta hides at the backyard to eavesdrop.

Maya Gonzalez is considered to be a dynamic and round character. She is sometimes savage and ready to fight when not trivial but also mostly caring and compassionate. These contradictory features make her a round and dynamic character. It is difficult to classify Maya Gonzalez as a single genre. It can be described as an educative play with regard to facts about certain places like Sultanate of Oman(though it does not completely adhere to historical account), tragedy ( though not in Aristotelian terms), comedy and a romance.
