Blood Wedding

Theme present in Blood Wedding is the cycle of life, the progression of time, choice, deception, fate, and nature. The cycle of life and progression of time are illustrated by the simple fact that the entire play is devoted to a wedding.
The process of marriage in every culture marks the concrete and tangible evidence of a passage from childhood to adulthood, and a progression through life and time.
The theme of deception ties into the theme of choice.
The theme of fate also ties into the themes of choice and deception.
Fate plays a very important role in the drama of Blood Wedding with its surprising twists and turns in the plot, and the final result as well.
Finally, the theme of nature is present in Blood Wedding: the moon, the trees, the river, death (in the form of the beggar woman), the vineyard, orange blossoms, etc. These references to nature suggest that there is something in human nature that is unavoidable. In this and other examples, a Freudian reading of the text becomes available as Lorca seems to be exploring the true nature of man.
