Reading: Act II
Journal 3
1. The
introduction states, “For Lorca, tragedy
entails certain formal elements (the chorus, for example), but above all
it
involves creating an illusion of fate or destiny, of ‘necessariness’:
the
suggestion that men and women are at the mercy of elemental forces which
shape
their lives in ways they barely comprehend”. How does Lorca create
illusions of fate in Act II? How do the characters struggle with the
illusions? What are the consequences of the illusions?
2. 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 do the songs connect with the events in Act II? What topics does Lorca expose and discuss?
