Kasal sa dugo /
Garcia Lorca, Federico, 1898-1936.
Kasal sa dugo / Federico Garcia Lorca ; salin ni Bienvenido Lumbera. - Quezon City : Ateneo de Manila University Press, c2007. - xviii, 111 p. 18 cm.
Originally published: Madrid : Edicion Aguilar, 1957. Translation of: Bodas de sangre.
Violence foregrounds Federico García Lorca's tragic play about a blood wedding. The image of blood is even there in the lullaby that puts a baby to sleep. The bride and groom-to-be are in many ways a perfect match. The young man is rich, strong, and extremely handsome. His intended woman is fair, beautiful, and timid. Class distinction can even be ignored in favor of making a family of strong children. But the riches of the landed man, his extensive vineyards, may stand in the way of a conjugal relationship, may disturb the equilibrium of love, as they sometimes do. Moreover, the unresolved issues of the couple's pasts are a yoke on their backs. The woman cannot forget Leonardo, her first love, who is now a married man but still crazy for her.
