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 there is a variety of youth in the second act because the Bride is coming to realization that she is getting married and has to decided what is best for her and her future. She knows the two men and understands they are different. Leonardo is a youthful young man that is willing to have some fun and risk a lot of things, we see this when he is rushing to the church before the marriage, he goes extremely fast to be the first one there. Whereas the Bridegroom is a hard working serious man that does not seem to have much fun and follows traditional rolls that a man takes part in. I believe Lorca does this in Blood Wedding because it gives a stronger meaning to why the Bride is questioning getting married to the Bridegroom. Without this added detail we could not understand what the Bride wants and we would be left to assume things that she was thinking.
