The Importance Of The Chorus In Blood Wedding, Myrna Julia Castro Rios

Theses

This Master in Fine Arts thesis, authored by Myrna Julia Castro Rios, explores the significance of the chorus in Federico García Lorca's Blood Wedding, focusing on its role within the play and its relationship to Greek drama traditions.

It notes the misrepresentation of oral and popular theatre within theatrical scholarship through its reliance upon the written remains of the ruling classes and confronts the notion …
