Blood wedding plot and subplot

 

            
             Federico Garcia Lorca was born on June 5, 1898, in Fuente Vaqueros near the city of Granada, the son of a liberal landowner, Federico Garcia Lorca's creativity would rear its head early. "Lorca" created and performed many of his poetry and plays but still seemed to have an obsession with death, how society as a whole was arrogant and of course tragedies. The first of these tragedies, Blood Wedding (which he wrote in 1933), was based on a newspaper account of a bride who ran off with her lover on her wedding night. In this play, Lorca heightens the woman's conflict by placing her in the middle of an ancient blood feud. Intended to be part of a "trilogy of the Spanish earth", Blood Wedding restored tragic poetry to the Spanish stage. .
             Sub-plot.
             The plot throughout this play is one of the main characteristics that highlight "Lorca's" talents in playwriting therefore the sub-plot in Blood Wedding is very important also. The main pieces of sub-plot consist of the history of the Felix family, which Leonardo belongs to. We as the audience know nearly instantly how mother dislikes the Felix family as we begin to learn how bridegroom's father and brother was murdered by members of the Felix family.
             We also learn quickly of how Leonardo is already married, incidentally to bride's cousin who together already have a child. We do not learn throughout the play why Leonardo chose to marry Bride's cousin but only why he did not choose to marry bride herself. It is also apparent that bride's cousin is with child with Leonardo once again.
