There are many universal themes in The House of Bernada Alba and blood wedding. The structure, plot and characters all serve to embody a series of themes in the plays. Lorca’s rural tragedies are all concerned with the problems of frustration of women: love, sexuality, motherhood, marriage and lack of freedom. There are several other themes such as honor, gossip, status, and money. The universal themes in Blood Wedding are love, passion, revenge, and anger. To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves. In the world we often do not do what we want to do because we are scared of what people will think or how they will react. I think this story had a lot to do with Lorca’s life. He had to suppress what he really wanted to do.
