Journal #9: Blood Wedding

1. The past of each character affects how they live their life and the interactions they have with other character. Lorca tells the past of the characters and the events they have lived through shape their life. For example, Mother no longer trusts Leonardo and is scared for her son to leave because her husband and other son were both killed by Leonardo's familia.
2. Society shapes decisions of many people and sometimes society can only do so much until the person thinks for themselves. This is shown mostly through Bride because she is pushed to marry Bridegroom by the people close to her like Nurse and Father while she really loves Leonardo. The reason that the story turned out badly was because her true feelings came out. If she had admitted her love for Leonardo before the wedding was planned, the deaths could have been avoided but because society pressured her, there was no choice.
