Blood Wedding Journal 3

This journal connects to a previous one from The Wild Duck. As I mentioned in the previous journal, there is a trend in deaths in all three books. In all of the plays there is a death in the end. Death itself is a trend throughout the tragedies. So far there has always been a death, whether it was Jocasta, Hedvig or the Bridegroom and Leonardo. Another trend that I noticed about death itself in each of the books was that it did not affect the primary character that the play was about. There were significant characters that died however, and one could even argue that in Blood Wedding, the Bridegroom is a primary character, but in reality the main character is the Bride, as most of the story surrounds her, more than the Bridegroom. Not only was it not the primary character that did not die, but the primary character is not the most likable in the story, and the character who dies has been if the not most likable character, has been much more so that the main character. In Blood Wedding, the Bride is the main character, and she is not characterized for the reader to like her. She is moody, and rude to those around her. Her actions are not honorable, she lies, and intends to cheat. The Bridegroom however is the opposite. He is characterized as opposite of the Bride. He is trusting, as he believes the Bride when she tells him that she has never been engaged before. He is also the victim to her leaving him.
