The poetic quality and its significance lyricism in Blood Wedding.

Lorca was deeply interested in folk music and rhymes, and many different songs and poems appear in Blood Wedding. They establish the traditional culture in which the characters live and die, but the changing style of the lyrics as the play progresses foreshadows its bloody conclusion. The lyrics are initially flowery and traditional, referring to animals and flowers rather than human beings. As the acts progress, though, the lyrics refer more directly to the events in the play, and become sharper and more gruesome, reflecting the characters' fear and grief.
