Blood wedding

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

I choose family to write about in this blog. These idea is represents by the characters through fierce hatred as well as well as wanting a big family to do work in the fields. I picked the quotes “ Can anyone bring your father back? Or your brother? Then there’s jail. What do they mean jail? They eat there, smoke there, play music there! My dead men choking with weeds, silent turning into dust. Two men like two beautiful flower. The killers in jail, carefree, looking at the mountains.” And “Your father, he used to take me. That’s the way with men of good stock; good blood. Your grandfather left a son on every corner. That’s what I like. Men, men; wheat, wheat.” Both of these quotes were said by the mother who is setting a very good example of how mad she is with the people who killed her husband and son as well as tell her son she wants lots of grandchildren. As well the son very much agrees to do almost whatever the mother wants. I believe that this is the thought with everyone throughout the play. There also seems to be a very strong relationship with family throughout the first act of the play. Which I can foresee holding strong throughout the entire play.
