Blood Wedding is written by Federico Garcia Lorca. It is similar to a classical tragic Greek tragedy. The play is split into three acts in act one, two scenes in act two and two scenes in the third and final act.

There is a cyclic structure used in the play with the lonely mother inside talking at the start and the finish.

All throughout the play we (the audience) know what is going to happen, with the deep romance between two actors all ending in tears, also the deaths happen off stage

and choral speech is used, this is the typical Greek way as all the events are determined.

The woodcutters, moon, girls and the beggar woman, determine the events throughout the play. These are like narrators that when they are talking, are telling the audience what is going to happen, and what is happenening in the play.

The Beggar woman is symbolic of death, she has bird imagery in lifting her rags symbolic of the female sexuality
