Themes[edit]

The section near the bottom, that talks about the 'themes' of the play, sounds like a high school assignment. It needs to be replaced with serious analysis, rather than talk about 'the theme of Individual vs. Society'. Good playwrights do not write plays with 'themes', they create characters, situations and dialogue which can suggest extraneous themes. Good criticism rarely refers to 'themes', which more often than not signify dumbed-down reductionism on the interpreter's part.--165.228.138.234 06:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't that invalidate sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.141.52 (talk) 06:11, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NOT TRILOGY[edit]

It,s the fourth or fifth time I find that Lorca wrote a trilogy of rural plays and that,s not true. La casa de Bernarda Alba it,s an independant play. Bodas de Sangre and Yerma are part of a not-finished "trilogy of Spanish earth", wich third play "La destruccion de Sodoma" (The fell of Sodoma) was not written because of Lorca,s death. I,d like someone to correct this. Paitxa —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.2.255.244 (talk) 11:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Symbolism section[edit]

The symbolism section has a single vague, unreferenced sentence followed by a rather sizable quotation with no context. I'm removing it for now, because it serves no purpose in the article. Jfmantis (talk) 01:27, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested moves 12 December 2014[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move the pages, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 00:56, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

– I'd like to make this article the primary topic for the title "Blood Wedding." Pageview statistics support it, and it's also a very significant work, which is not true of the other topics of this title. It has far more views than any other article containing "Blood Wedding" in the title, and while it has fewer views than "St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre", which is occasionally referred to as a "blood wedding", this is not the common name of the event.

Here are the page view stats from November:

St. Bartholomew's Day massacre: 19303, but this is not the common/primary name of the topic, nor is it well-known or used often
Blood Wedding (play): 4838
Ruse blood wedding: 117
Blood Wedding (1941 film): 81
Blood Wedding (1977 film): 109
Blood Wedding (1981 film): 535
Bluthochzeit: 134

As you can see, omitting St. Bartholomew's Day, the Lorca play has nine times the views of the second most viewed topic on the page, about six times as many views as all other topics combined, and over forty times as many views as most of the topics. Additionally, two of the other articles are about works based on this play. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:27, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Seems like a straightforward case of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. —BarrelProof (talk) 00:41, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But how often is it called "the Blood Wedding" rather than the direct name "St. Bartholomew's Day massacre" or similar? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:41, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- One seemingly strong indication is that the term "Blood Wedding" does not appear in the article at St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. Just to make sure, I also checked the state of that article at the end of 2013 and at the end of 2012. It wasn't in those versions either. —BarrelProof (talk) 22:47, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support one of the better known plays of an important writer. PatGallacher (talk) 19:17, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio[edit]

I removed a large section of text copied from here. The text was added 28 September 2011 and the oldest archive of the source is dated 25 April 2012. However, an editor did mention the apparent copyvio on this page in November 2011, and the section had the same non-Wikipedia-style paragraph indentation as the source, leading me to believe that this is indeed a copyvio. –dlthewave ☎ 19:09, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
