Blood Wedding
Lorca’s “Blood Wedding” deals mainly with the factors of going into weddings without choosing your partner and without the free choice to do what you really want. In blood wedding, the bride takes off with another guy during the reception after the wedding. The play goes on the idea that getting married is something your parents work out for the best interest of the bride/groom and the families. This is how marriage was awhile back. I didn’t see any true “love” in the story in my opinion. Their wasn’t any love between the Bride and Bridegroom, the marriage was simply there because he was rich and could provide for her.
I also don’t believe their was any true love between Leonardo and the bride. The bride taking off after the wedding is a lustful act much more than love. If it was true love, than I don’t see any reason why she went through a ceremony if she knew she didn’t love him and loved Leonardo. Therefore, I believe lust played a much bigger part in the play than love did.
