Blood Weddong- Journal #9

Death is inevitable so live: Theoughout this play Lorca symbolizes death through ,ultisols characters along with other props that are used in the play. The knife is a classic symbol of death that reoccurs throughout the entire play. Lorca then uses the moon, the beggar women, and the three wood cutters to emphasize death at the very end of the movel. I think that Lorca is trying to say do what makes you happy because you never know when your happiness will be ripped out from underneath you. I think this is shown in Lorna's choice not to have the bride die because she was having trouble ,asking a desicison and them right after making it lose the two people that she claimed to love. This is Lorca's way of showing the importance of having your own voice. Control isn't necessary: Throughout the play the Bride seems to always be lacking in control. This is seen through her mother always telling her what to do and she is under the pressure of being accepted into the society after leaving the man that she promised to marry. Through these instances I think that Lorca is trying to say that control doesn't really make anyone happy but rather creates tension between two people or in the case of the play between a person and the community. So in a way Lorca is kind of downgrading control I People want what they can't have: This is shown when the bride runs away with Leonardo even though it is highly looked down upon in their society. I think that Lorca is trying to show that humans shouldn't get greedy and just accept what they are give. Because they will end up with nothing in the end. (I don't know what's going on with the format. I apologize.)
