Blood Wedding (the power of dialogue)
Exploring the power of dialogue in Blood Wedding, especially between Leonardo & the Bride Leonardo and the Bride have several conversations, which tend to develop into complex arguments that bring back the past and what it meant. Each of the two characters are on a different wavelength if you want to call it that. Their thoughts, intentions and especially emotions are not coherent. Leonardo thinks about the past and the pain that dwells inside him as a result of the suffering he went through, while the bride thinks about the future and what it can possibly hold for these two old lovers. Leonardo intends to make sure that the bride knows how he feels. He wants her to act as a stress reliever and as someone to 'let it all out' on. The tremendous emotional baggage he has carried all this time is aching to be let out, and she happens to be the perfect outlet, which will receive this emotional baggage and turn it into emotional guilt, her own guilt, her own suffering. You may at first look at this as being selfish and inconsiderate of him, but in the end, humans are by definition greedy and selfish. Whether it is consciously or subconsciously, and wh
I can personally relate to this, as I am sure most of you will too. Leonardo allowed society's definitions and expectations to come between him and his emotions, and here is where the guilt and regret was created and built slowly within him self. It is at this point that natural law was suppressed and held back by social law. Leonardo has been living this situation throughout the play until his beloved bride plans on getting married. His emotional needs and intentions exceeded possibility. This use of diction impresses me; it is incredible how much Federico Garcia Lorca's sensual way of writing has helped augment our sympathy towards Leonardo's problems and feelings. Words and descriptions such as "What shivers of glass are spiking through my tongue" and "My dreams would choke my flesh with weeds" are very explicit and sensual descriptions that illustrate Leonardo's thoughts and show me personally, how his emotions physically feel like. When he admits that his excessive pride did nothing but "Throw blazing coals over me", and that "When something has got right deep into you, there's nobody that can root it out", You can really visualize and nearly feel the heat and pain that his situation drowns him in. There is however, another law, aloof from anything man made and anything created by society. Leonardo presumed that the bride had lost all her feelings towards him. This was clearly noticeable when he asks himself, "What good did it do me to be proud and not look at you". Others would admit that logical reasoning is the only way they make decisions and come to conclusions. It's quite unbearable at times to read such vivid descriptions.
