At the heart of the drama is the character of Ollantay, a general of the Inca army whose story forms the core of the narrative. Ollantay is not a god or a king, but a man of humble origins who rises through merit and martial prowess. His tragic flaw, in the classical sense, is his audacity to love Cusi Coyllur, the daughter of the Inca Pachacutec. The drama opens with Ollantay’s bold declaration of love, a violation of the strict social hierarchy that forbade a commoner from marrying royalty. Here, Ollantay emerges as a proto-romantic hero and a rebel. When rejected by the Inca, he does not submit; instead, he retreats to the fortress of Ollantaytambo and leads a rebellion against the empire. This narrative arc establishes Ollantay as a symbol of the "other"—the subaltern who dares to challenge the absolute authority of the Inca state, making him a timeless figure of resistance against tyranny.
