Tragedy #7

There are a variety of youth in the second act. Why? How does Lorca use the youth to affect the themes of the play?


I believe why there are so many youth in the second act is because of the wedding. During the wedding, Bride and Bridegroom are going into this marriage blindly and are forced to see things in a different way because of their parents. When the youth are brought up it shows a different view on things and how innocent they are of everything. It shows how they once were and how ignorant they are from everything. Bride tells the young girls what they will face once they are getting married. This shows a kind of warning for the younger ones to watch out for when they are older. When Bride said this to the younger girls she said it with a sense of hope to show how she desires not to be stuck in her mess which is getting married. Lorca shows this especially when the kids are singing because it brings a youthful feeling to the play.
