The theme of this work arose as a result of a news item in the press: two lovers elope on the eve of the woman's wedding to another man. Garia Lorca turns reality into poetry. In his work there is a desire for freedom, Andalusianism, symbolism and death, but above all, dramatic poetry. Bodas de sangre is, then, a play where the torn passions of its protagonists are unleashed before the attentive gaze of the moon, a beautiful and terrible personification of death.
