The Power Of Change In Blood Wedding By Federico Lorca

Blood could be a metaphorical term for the dark girl having the life and her will to live sucked out of her. Either way, the lines create an eerie, depressed mood. The other girl, however, is, “bronzed as earth… / hearing ticks blown gold / like pollen on bright air. Lulled / near a bed of poppies,”(13-16). This girl has all of these bright, happy, carefree aspects which are part of her life. Her life is seemingly carefree. She hears blown gold and floating pollen. It’s as though she’s near the mentioned bed of poppies. The bright girl, “freely become[s] sun’s bride,”(21). This suggests that the girl of light is not restricted in any way and is free to be happy. Sylvia Plath’s use of opposites in her poem, “The Two Sisters of Persephone,” creates two separate moods; one of depression and one of happiness and

Looking through Federico Garcia Lorca’s works, we can clearly see that he was very much influenced by many aspects of nature. So, it is no wonder that in this play, “Blood Wedding” the character of The Moon is influenced by integral parts of the natural world. This character, is one of the most important as it drives the plot of towards a very emotional and tragic end. The moon is one of the most frequent symbols in the works of Lorca, in Blood Wedding, Federico Garcia Lorca gave us a portrayal of his version of the moon, he provides a masculine and ambiguous figure, cold and blood-thirsty, which is quite unusual as the moon is often represented as feminine and its associated with innocence and purity. the moon acquires a very important role in this play, since it goes from being a witness to be a mythical character embodied by a young woodcutter.

In the play Macbeth , William Shakespeare uses blood as a symbol throughout the whole story to show the different emotions and themes within the context of the play. It’s a bit ironic for someone whose name means “the son of life” that he has to take so many lives instead of being a father to the people he was trying to rule. The play refers to blood in three key points to create great imagery in this play, guilt, honor, and family/ancestry are some strong points that this imagery is used.

Furthermore, Lorca uses the knife to symbolize an invention of man, which is created to keep men in their place and regain complete control of power. The mother states “He’d still be with us here if men hadn't invented knives.”(Lorca 18) This symbol enhances the violent nature of masculinity, and is fully developed as it becomes the death of both Leonardo and the bridegroom as the mother states in the closing of the play, “Neighbours: with a knife, with a little knife, on a day appointed, between two and three, the two love driven men killed each other. With a knife. With a little knife that hardly fits into the hand; but which nearly enters the astonished flesh and stood at the place where lies trembling, enmeshed, the dark root of the scream.”(Lorca 63) Also prominently featured is the imagery in the death of the characters that echoes the violent nature of man, “Torn flowers their eyes, and their teeth two fistfuls of snow frozen hard. The two of them fell, and the bride is coming back with blood soaked skirt and hair. Covered with two blankets they're coming on the shoulders of tall young men. So it was; just that. It was right. Over the flower of gold, filthy sand.”(Lorca 61) The image created by the comparison of the men's eyes to torn flowers and the bride covered in blood is savage in nature and it comments on violence becoming an institutionalized form of resolving conflict between males. Lorca further demonstrates this through the use of language associated with the confrontation of Leonardo and the bridegroom, “that's right. The greatest hunt there ever was.” (Lorca 53) The confrontation of the two men becomes a “hunt”, implying a battle with a sole survivor. Lorca embodies this as Leonardo and the Bridegroom die in the fear of weakness and

In western society the mass population is solemnly exposed to bloodshed seen in the rest of the world. It can be seen that in this society blood and violence act as the undoing of psyches and produce anarchy. Blood is and always will be the plight of man. In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, blood imagery acts as the driving force of character development and collapse of their morality. It is primarily used the frame the evolution of psychological insanity in Macbeth through continuous murder and lunacy in Lady Macbeth with overwhelming guilt.

In today's society, people's images are constructed by social media. On the internet, people can become whoever they want to be, whether what is posted on their profile is true or a misperception. Examples of this include editing pictures so that the person in the picture, is not what is seen in real life. Everybody wants to be the ideal image of the standards of society, and whether they know it or not, it is so that they fit in. Humans naturally want to be accepted by each other, but this results in individuals not being their true selves but becoming a fake persona. This has not only occurred in society today, but it is also demonstrated in Blood Wedding, where one’s image, is not their true self. In Blood Wedding by Federico Garcia Lorca, archetypes, foils, and figurative language are used, to convey how society’s standards alter one’s perspective and falsifies one’s appearance.

The background of the blood wedding was in the 1930. During the civil war. This play looked like a compelling love triangle, and it started with the bridegroom’s mother introduced some something. I could not follow this section because of not listening clearly. And then Leonardo’s wife tried to told him to remain with his son, but it was not useful. Leonardo was still in love with the bride, and the bride was same. their baby cried because they quarreled loudly I like this section, because It is a real and

While this play might look plain and simple, it follows a repetitive pattern which permits Shakespeare to expose the point of view of love in the renaissance form men and women’s point of view in each of the steps of love used in this text, marriage, wooing, the way the wedding develops and how much love weighs and is seen by society. Shakespeare’s suggestion that this play that describes the point of view of marriage is developed through the process of wooing, wedding, and how love is viewed in society. While love is one of the main subject through this complex but plain book we also have an in depth description of how people act.

In Lorca's "Blood Wedding," blood has many significant symbolisms structured throughout the play. Blood is repeatedly

The play Romeo and Juliet is a tale about two young “star-crossed lovers” whose relationship is threatened by their feuding families. “From forth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life” (Prologue, ln 5-6). This story takes place in 15th century Verona, Italy, and was written by the legendary playwright, William Shakespeare. In the end, their devastation from being separated leads to the demise of many of their friends and family, as well as both of their suicides. Shakespeare illustrates a theme of fate and predestination through the time and place of Romeo and Juliet’s meeting, their quick decision to wed, and their intense dedication and devotion to one another.

The expectation of women and a daughter are very alike. But as a lover they both act differently and believes in different ideas of love, Juliet’s love is based on the connection while Hermia’s is based on aspects like appearance and height. As both characters violate the social norms to marry someone who is forbidden by their parents, they have to pay the price. For the tragedy, Juliet and Romeo have to pay their lives to resolve the feud between the two families. For a comedy, Hermia and Lysander are allowed to have their happy ending due to the mischiefs of the Oberon and Puck. Juliet and Hermia are very similar and yet their ending are so different, this perhaps is the exploration of Shakespeare characters in different genres of his

To begin with, Lorca satirizes the importance people place on tradition in their lives. The Bride’s father, who deters the marriage of his daughter to Leonardo in reason of Leonardo’s lack of land and money, symbolizes the preoccupation of people with land and property. This preoccupation is certainly echoed by the Bridegroom’s mother as she places the amount of land and power as the first priority in her discussion with the Bride’s father about their children’s marriage. That is, Lorca casts doubt on the fact that the prime motivation of the marriages is material abundance of the children’s families instead of the spiritual love between them. Besides, such worldly tradition, which seems to be supported by the society, represses the passion and natural instinct represented by the Bride and Leonardo. Unfortunately, like many lovers in the Spanish society at the time, the two are forced to betray their love and instincts in order to conform to the social conventions. The fact that the arranged marriage leads to tragic consequences at the end conveys Lorca’s disproval of such traditions and preoccupation with materialism. Furthermore, Lorca also throws his criticism on the people’s obsession with public opinion and the women’s role in the society. The Bridegroom’s mother, as well as Leonardo’s wife, are forced to completely withdraw from the society and live the empty lives of widows who have to keep “the door always shut” and “nail up the windows” because of the social feudalism. Lorca, therefore criticizes such a subservient role of women in the society. Even though most women detest such inferiority and lack of freedom, they continue to follow such traditions due to the much attention they pay to public opinion, even in their greatest moments of anguish. Namely, when the Bridegroom’s mother is informed about her son’s death, she does not allow
