<p>Resumen:</p><p>Este ensayo trata de probar que <i>La razón de la sinrazón</i> está inspirada en <i>Los últimos dÃas de Pompeya</i> y a través de un análisis comparado entre ambas obras mostrar sus numerosos paralelismos y conseguir arrojar algo más de luz sobre determinados aspectos del argumento y los personajes de la obra de Galdós que hasta ahora no habÃan sido interpretados correctamente. De este modo, la literatura comparada nos servirá no sólo para confrontar personajes y sucesos de ambas obras y para realizar un análisis comparado de sus demonologÃas, sino asimismo para comprender numerosos aspectos de <i>La razón de la sinrazón</i> rodeados de incógnitas, como la naturaleza fÃsica y polÃtica del cataclismo que destruye Ursaria y el uso alegórico de la demonologÃa dentro de la sátira que Galdós realiza del sistema polÃtico de la Restauración. El empleo de todos estos elementos durante su etapa mitológica será comparado con el que treinta y nueve años antes realizó de numerosos aspectos de <i>Los últimos dÃas de Pompeya</i> en <i>El Grande Oriente</i>, demostrando la enorme influencia que la novela de Bulwer-Lytton ejerció sobre el escritor canario, su profundo conocimiento de la demonologÃa persa y judÃa y su llamamiento a un cambio polÃtico, social y espiritual.</p><p>Abstract:</p><p>This essay attempts to prove that <i>La razón de la sinrazón</i> is inspired by <i>The Last Days of Pompeii</i> and, through a comparative analysis of both works, show their numerous parallelisms and shed more light on certain aspects of the plot and characters of Galdós' work that until now have not been correctly interpreted. In this way, comparative literature will serve us not only to confront characters and events in both works and to carry out a comparative analysis of their demonologies, but also to understand numerous aspects of <i>La razón de la sinrazón</i> surrounded by unknowns, such as the physical and political nature of the cataclysm that destroys Ursaria and the allegorical use of demonology within the satire Galdós makes of the political system of the Restoration. The use of these elements during its mythological stage will be compared with that which thirty-nine years earlier he made of numerous aspects of <i>Los últimos dÃas de Pompeya</i> in <i>El Grande Oriente</i>, demonstrating the enormous influence that Bulwer-Lytton's novel had on the Canarian writer, his deep knowledge of Persian and Jewish demonology and his call for political, social and spiritual change.</p>
