Blood wedding does a great job of giving you a different concept or outlook to marriage. What we see as a bond consumed by love and devotion they see as I guess you would say adding to the social ranking. What I mean by this is the characters see marriage as two people that come from the right background and right family a match rather than two people sharing the same feelings for each other. Instead if your family is wealthy and the others are as well although the two give consent they are still basically pushed in to matrimony. This really reminds me of Darwin’s theory I know it sounds funny but only the strong survive in this case only the wealthy progress. Once the groom is matched and married what was to go to the daughter basically becomes his to do with what he sees fit. This although seems very wrong is the way the world worked then. Which I feel is why so far we have the problems we have in the story. The bride leaves and the family is left embarrassed in a situation they seem to have forced her in. So who is really right and who is wrong in this situation? The husband and bride can learn to love each other. But is that really love? This is why I feel the bride was just in running off. This is why I feel the family was wrong. The farther is happy to give his fortune to his daughter in turn that of which would be her husbands all because of the right last name. If you have the right name and the right status you are a perfect fit to marry another you might have only talked to once in your life. Just seems like a joke to what marriage should stand for. Even though it is really how the world use to be.
