Reading: Act 1 Tab patterns that you notice
Journal:1
Consider how the author uses the natural world in the play. Are there any oppositions to the natural world? Are there different landscapes? How and why?
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”. Find the patterns concerning fate: who is fated, how is the character fated, what causes the character to feel fated, are any characters facing similar circumstances? Using your findings of fate, what comment does Lorca make about life in Andalusia, Spain?
