Blood Wedding #3

Just want to say I really, really hated this play. Terribly boring. Also, I don't think it would constitute as a tragedy. Who here is falling from grace and power? The Bridegroom? I don't really see it. Nor do I understand what happened. All I know is the Bride got married to the Bridegroom, ran away with Leonardo, everyone went looking for them, then the Bridegroom and Leonardo are suddenly muertos. Whaaaat?

I noticed in the play two places where eyes are mentioned. The first occurs on pg 77 where the Mother says "Who has a horse? Right now - who was a horse? I'll give you everything I have: my eyes and even my tongue!" She says this because her senses are incredibly important to her. She talks a lot so obviously the "tongue" remark is dramatic. Anyway, it mentions eyes. She is willing to not see (figuratively) so her son can find out the truth and be happy. The second spot "eyes are mentioned is on page 98 and the Beggar Woman (aka Death) says "I could have asked you for your eyes!" and this brings the parallels of Oeidpus and Wild Duck. How are the eyes connected? I'll have to keep reading this terrible book to find out.
