This text is an approach to two works from comparative analysis and reception theory: Juarez und Maximilian, drama written in Vienna by Franz Werfel, and “Juárez y Maximiliano”, movie directed by Miguel Contreras Torres in Mexico. Although this works reflects the context in which authors developed, they have deep similarities; therefore, its analysis allows us to get into the lines of thought of the first half twenty century. Study the reception of this works offers a vision of the ends that its authors prefigured at time of its elaborations, as well as acceptance or rejection. Finally, this paper exposes political ideas and history interpretations that existed in the years of its premieres.
