Classic Themes In Blood Wedding By Gabriel Garcia Lorca

(I assume the main “couples” are Hero/Claudio and Beatrice/Benedict) The two couple are different in many ways. Hero, a young, cheerful, dreamer, is head over heels in love and wishes noting more than for her perfect fantasy to play out. It is clear throughout the story that she is “naïve” to Beatrice’s “wisdom” on the matter of love. Hero holds a very fantasy based mind of “everything works out for love” while Beatrice holds the idea of the “cynic” or “realist” and puts little to know faith in the notion of “love.” The men hold a somewhat similar ideal. They both have the same mind set as the women whom they love. Benedict indulges in the cynical mind of Beatrice as he in turn plays witty games, and Claudio resembles Hero’s ideal of prince charming and Cinderella. The two couples show “Disney” vs “reality” between them.

Gender roles are portrayed through the complementary theme of love and marriage; the play provides an insight into the motives, pressures and expectations of individuals previous to, and whilst wedded.

The play Much Ado About Nothing revolves around the the love and subsequent wedding(s) of Claudio and Hero, Shakespeare sets up the play is around a picture perfect

The storyline of the play is about A young boy and girl that fall in love at first sight their families are enemies, they marry in secret and they all end up dead.

“My only love sprung from my only hate.”- Juliet. The genre of this play is romantic and irony. The writer was William Shakespeare, he has wrote multiple stories. The play is set up in Verona, Italy. It is set around two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, both families have raging hate for each other. At one point though the son and daughter of the families fell in love. They both knew that it wouldn't last though so they got married right away. Romeo did something awful and was banished from the city. Juliet found out and took a potion,and faked her death to run away with him, but Romeo didn't know so he killed himself too. Once Juliet awoke she killed herself because her beloved Romeo was dead. Friar Lawrence and the long standing family feud are responsible for their death.

A lot of the play is seen in the eyes of Dunia, the family's maid. Dunia is a funny character that provides some humor in dark situations. Maite, the mother's, spending habits do not help out the family's situation. Maite just wants the drug cartel issue to go away and does not realize that ignoring the issue will not solve their problems. Maite's daughters, Valeria

Much like Ten Things I Hate About You, it is about a man taming and wooing a woman. However, the plot, setting and characters are more similar to the original play. Baptista of Padua has two daughters: Katharina, who is a terror, and Bianca, who is all things sweet and lovely. Bianca has three suitors; Lucentio, Gremio and Hortensio. However, much like in Ten Things I Hate About You, Baptista announces that Bianca may not marry until Katherina is wed. None of the men in town are willing to marry Katherina, so Bianca remains unwed.

The play features very minimal scenery and props, while the characters develop as everyday individuals presenting their own personalities. During the first two acts, entitled “Daily Life” and “Love and Marriage,” the Stage Manager hints the existence of the Webb and the Gibbs, two families who are later united by the marriage of their children, George and Emily. Furthermore, their wedding scene conveys similar message as the audience is transported back to George and Emily’s wedding day, as various characters’ voice their opinions about her as a bride and the wedding, which forces them to make their own judgment and promotes the idea that while marriage is a sentimental part of a person’s life overcoming their doubtful thoughts and worries as soon-to-be-weds; “What a lovely bride!” “Each marriage is different from all the others, and no definition could satisfy

The play explores the gender inequality, marriage, obedience and its importance in relationships and the social subjugation of females. The story of Kat and Patrick’s relationship in the movie shows that you shouldn’t judge people on appearances. Patrick thinks there is no way he could actually like Kat but in the end she turns out to be the girl he falls in love with. At the beginning of the film Michael walks through the courtyard with Cameron and informs him about the different social groups at Padua High School. This shows the way high school is often perceived in real life. The scene, with a long camera shot, shows how judgmental they are putting everyone into groups and putting a label on them. The examples of Kat and Patrick show us that people can be different compared to how they first

When these two characters fall in love, they rush themselves to marry without consulting their parents directly or taking in the fact that their families are at "war", which they should have since this eventually leads to several deaths, including theirs. These two lovers are a prime example of how you cant live your life being completely irrational and spontaneous, but instead everything, including love, should be taken with moderation, or else the consequenses might not be ideal as we see in the best comedy/tragedy play of all

Blood Wedding is a tragedy in three acts. This play focus on a woman and two men who loves her, but she only loves one of them. Leonardo who have a wife and kid, and the bridegroom the man who the bride going to marry even though she is not in love with him. The bridegroom lives with his mom. Hid dad and brother were murder by the Felix family, Leonardo’s family. The mother of the bride groom doesn’t want her son to marry the bride because that’s her only son, and she is scared that the only family she has left might also fall a victim to someone’s knife or gun. The day before the wedding the servant’s bride tells the bride that she seen Leonardo in his horse coming to the house at night to see her. The day of the wedding Leonardo came to see the bride where they both declare their love for each other, but the bride still went on with the wedding. After the wedding, everybody dances. Hours after the bride retire to her bedroom claiming that didn’t feel alright. Leonardo’s wife later came, and tell everybody in the wedding that Leonardo and the bride took off in Leonardo’s horse.

This play mostly focuses on women’s social roles by focusing how they are treated and the roles they are expected to be aligned in. For example, throughout the play, the women in this piece of literature are only noted through their husbands using titles of “Mrs.” or when one does mention a woman’s name is in context to one's appearance. Women are also domesticated and treated

In the prologue of the story, Shakespeare wrote “two star’d crossed lovers take their life”. This foreshadowing illustrates that fate shall outline the play. The compelling love of Romeo and Juliet is also a leading cause in the

One of Shakespeare's most popular plays, “Romeo and Juliet” centres on the fated relationship between the principal protagonists. They fall in love with each other, even though they belong to two feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Just being an adolescent is difficult enough let alone being in love in such awkward circumstances. It is a struggle which is complicated but it is made more so by the force of destiny. Destiny dictates the feud to bring tragedy to both the couple and therefore their families who are punished by the couple’s loss.

I chose to review and research the play Blood Wedding. The setting of the play was placed in Spain during the early 1930’s. It is based on a true story. In 1928, a young man was murdered by his cousin in Madrid the night before his wedding. The play gives more detail to what happened with a bride who is stuck between getting married to someone new than being with someone she loves that she has known from years ago before she met her fiancé. The main characters of this play are the bride, bridegroom, and the bridegroom’s mother. The mother dug into their business involving relationships with the bride, another man and her family, but the main conflict is the actual murder scene of the two men, the bridegroom and Leonardo, who is the other man the bride had feelings for. This scene left the bride feeling hopeless.
