(They sit.) FATHER: I want them to have plenty. This land needs hands that aren’t hired. You’re forever battling weeds, thistles, stones that appear from nowhere. And those hands should be the owners’ own, able to punish and master, to make the seed grow. You need a lot of sons. MOTHER: And a daughter or two! Men come and go like the wind! It’s in their nature to turn to knives and guns. Girls never venture out of the house. FATHER (Happily): I’m sure they’ll have both. MOTHER: My son will cover her well. He’s of good stock. His father could have had plenty of children with me. FATHER: I wish it could all happen in a day.

  • Lorca's Blood Wedding
    8-10 September 2014- Istanbul, Turkey 392 Proceedings of SOCIOINT14- International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities LORCA’S BLOOD WEDDING: A MANIFESTATION OF SPANISH FOLKLORE Saeed Yazdani 1* Mohammadreza Shahbazi 2 Mozdeh Ghazi 3 1Department of English Literature, Bushehr Branch, Islamic Azad University, Bushehr, IRAN, [email protected] *Corresponding author 2Department of Dramatic Literature, Bushehr Branch, Islamic Azad University, Bushehr, IRAN, [email protected] 3M.A. Department of Dramatic Literature, Bushehr Branch, Islamic Azad University, Bushehr, IRAN [email protected] Abstract Culture has been an important factor in the production of literary works throughout the world. The Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca maintained a lifelong interest in the music and folklore of Spain, a fascination that heavily influenced one of his most acclaimed tragedies, Blood Wedding. The repressive social norms of the rural town are often contrasted with the raw, emotional state of nature in which the characters desire to live. In Lorca's countryside, heritage and violence are inextricably linked. The shallow and restrictive town, then, can be seen as a response and overreaction to the chaotic, bleak fate that man faces in nature. In approaching Blood Wedding, we should also be aware of the many cultural influences that fed into the play, notably the dramatist‘s familiarity with classical, flamenco and traditional Spanish music, and with Greek tragedy. All of them combined to transform a real life event into high art. The play resonates with an incredible passionate, tragic, beautiful love. The whole idea of the inevitability of love and death, which is present at the core of the Spanish culture, beats at the heart of the play, so strongly and so intensely.
