Blood Wedding Journal 1 (Discussion)

One thing I've noticed already, just in the first act is a sense of a male dominated society. In the first two groups we see, the Bridegroom and Leonardo somewhat dominate the conversations, Leonardo especially. One example of this is when he says "(harshly) We don't care!" (24) This causes the little girl to run away crying. That's not cool at all. Leonardo also does this same thing to his wife when he says things like "Get away!" and "Leave me alone." (25).

I'm sure this motif will show up throughout the tragedy, as it is very predominant just in the first act. I'm also assuming that it will come into play later, and the males taking advantage of the females or not treating them respectfully will cause one of the central conflicts of the story.
