Blood Wedding Journal 4
Read Act II
Write a journal on one or a couple of the questions below. Please keep in mind that all of the questions are open to discussion for Monday, so you might want to jot down some notes about all of them.
1. Which characters appear to be miserable in the play and why? When and how do the characters express their misery? What do the characters desire and what stops them from going after what each desires?
2. When and how does Lorca break the fourth wall? What is the affect of reminding the reader that the events on the stage are not real?
3. There are a variety of youths in the second act, why? How does Lorca use the youths to affect the themes of the play?
4. How does the set change between acts and what effect does the set have on the atmosphere?
5. Consider the cultural connections we discussed in class. Where can you identify Lorca's social commentary in the play? What does he suggest about the social issues?

Blood Wedding Journal 3
No reading tonight. Enjoy the breather before we jump back into the water.
However, tonight's journal has three parts.
1. Choose any two symbols from your list and discuss their significance.
2. Examine Lorca's use of the horse. I don't expect brilliant answers, but I do expect a good hypothesis with reasoning and possibly a couple of questions attached.
3. Respond to at least two student's blogs.

Blood Wedding Journal 2
A quick reminder, you receive the Ibsen essay topics tomorrow. Please prepare for in class brainstorming by reviewing notes concerning The Wild Duck and bringing all materials you think you might use.
Read Act I of Blood
Wedding – This journal has two parts. First, as you read the Act create a list of symbols that you come across. If you have an idea about the meaning feel free to jot it down, but a well thought out idea is not required.
Second, examine how Lorca characterize the
archetypes of the play? Does Lorca embrace or reject the archetype? What is
the effect of the characterization?
