An example of their pretending is when Mary Warren is denying everything but the girls will not stand for it so they repeat everything she says to make her seem ‘evil’,

In the play by Federico Garcia Lorca, The House of Bernarda Alba, a recurring theme throughout the play is freedom. Lorca expresses freedom using characters, situations and objects. The characters in the story are Bernarda’s daughters who are under her control and have extremely little freedom and privacy by being forced to abide by her rules. Freedom and Repression are most significant themes conveyed throughout the play, the two opposing themes together are important to understanding both the characters and the story as well.

The story of La Fabulosa: a Texas Operetta is about an anonymous narrator who gossips about the romantic relationships of a woman named Carmen from Laredo, starting with a corporal named José and moving onto a Texas senator named Camilo Escamilla and finally King Kong Cardenas.

By the third act we can see the potential evil of the people’s desire to belong to each other – the court immediately distrusts and excludes anyone accused of being evil. Perfectly innocent people are not given an adequate chance to defend themselves. The irrational fear and insecurity of something splitting up the community is splitting up the community.

Sofía attempts to take hold of her life by being sexuality active. In How the García Girls Lost Their Accents, Sofía is said to be the one who has “non-stop boyfriends”, and is always the one that the others go to for advice on men. This may come as a surprise considering she is the youngest. This is very much against her parents’ beliefs. They want their daughters to stay pure and celibate. After Carlos finds love letters exchanged between Sofía and her boyfriend, Sofía runs away to be with the man of her dreams. This causes Sofía’s relationship with her father to significantly weaken. Sofía engages in premarital sex and becomes pregnant with a child.

That hope further dissipated when the young men, now being led each by an older man, made their way to the cemetery. The cemetery was an eery prediction of what was surely now about to happen. Don Lazaro has protested so much that there is nothing he can do, it now borders on the pathetic. Does he know of some additional harm that would befall him if he doesn't carry out this sinister plan? The young men, now willing to sacrifice their lives, and resigned to doing so, bravely meet their fate. "The five young men, each escorted now by an older man, followed the cofrades over the ridge of the hill and dropped down on the other side just out of sight."
