摘要

The Humanities and Digital Edition Group (GHEDI, for its acronym in Spanish) from the InternationalUniversity of La Rioja is currently working on the BETTE project, which aims at the creation of anElectronic Textual Library of Theatre in Spanish (1868-1936). Among its objectives we find the studyand systematization of resources, which may be used to implement quality digital editing of literarytexts in the educational system. Editing electronic texts in TEI allows a greater versatility as editors,and the simple creation of different educational resources through a direct approach that allows us toassess the different elements of text comprehension, lexicon or grammar, to be used in classroom asa learning tool at all levels of teaching, improving the visibility and legibility of such complex texts astheatrical works.In this communication we will offer a proposal where one can see, on the one hand, the processfollowed to highlight the role of the characters in the play through colours, and on the other hand, assupport to classroom work, from a survey of different professional educators about the effectiveness ofthis system for an easier and more comprehensive reading of dramatic texts, which a priori, aredifficult to understand by secondary or high school students.Using both, chromatic editing of Electra (1901) by Galdos in TEI and the analysis of the results of thesurveys, will allow us to assess the degree of acceptance, support and improvement of thecomprehension and analysis process of the opposite relationship between main characters in the play,through colour as a connecting link and differentiation of the characters in play-acting, the more visual,pragmatic and intuitive vision of the play, as well as the possibilities that digital editing in TEI can offerto teachers and students.
