Blood Wedding (the power of dialogue)
Exploring the power of dialogue in Blood Wedding, especially between Leonardo & the Bride Leonardo and the Bride have several conversations, which tend to develop into complex arguments that bring back the past and what it meant. Each of the two characters are on a different wavelength if you want to call it that. Their thoughts, intentions and especially emotions are not coherent.

Lorca used exquisite diction, and through the use of these literary features, he portrayed the personal agony that both Leonardo and the bride were going through as the play progressed. Lorca conveyed the nature and demeanor of Spanish culture by using certain phrases and ideas to refer to emotions and feelings. ether it is admitted it or denied, we tend to put our needs and ourselves first.
