How does the set change between acts and what effect does the set have on the atmosphere?
The set changes to the outside world and forests in this act. They are looking for Bride and Leonardo in the forests while many random characters start appearing for example the wood cutters, beggar woman, and the moon. This makes the scene more intense and creates a different dark tone that hasn't been seen before in the play. It suddenly goes from a happy setting to a depressing rather quickly. This also plays with the time motif and how things seem to be moving quickly. It also shows the earth and landscape motif that has been mentioned before but now at the end it is relevant to the plot. This helps us make conclusions as to what Lorca is trying to say. This motif is developed with the blood motif as well.
