The rape of Lucrece has been rewritten in numerous works of art. One of them is Angélica Liddell’s version, which uses Shakespeare’s version as a hypotext. Therefore, the objective of this article is to elucidate the changes made by Liddell resorting to comparative literature, myth criticism and feminist criticism. This procedure has revealed that, by subverting the constituent parts of the myth, the stylistic resources and the motifs, Liddell rejects the premodern conception of rape in favour of a modern one that enables agency to raped females. Moreover, she criticises the models of virtue that entrap women in oppressive structures.
