Marriage is a big part of everyone’s life. Some people get married just for financial reasons or social status reasons to make themselves seem more important or happier with their social life. I’m taking a course now in “Marriage and Family Relations” and there are thousands of theories as to why couples get together to get married. The relationship between the couple in Blood Wedding is based on social ranking rather than love for one another. Their relationship reminds me of my friends parents marriage- her dad and her step mom’s relationship that is- where they’re not together for bonding or loving one another, they’re together for financial reasons and their only source of communication to one another is by cell phone. Even though that example isn’t that closely related to what happens in the story Blood Wedding because the couple barely knew one another before marrying each other and the only reason why they got together was because of social rank, it relates somewhat to status in society.
