After returning from America, Lorca wrote "Blood Wedding," which premiered in 1933 at a theater in Madrid. Its theme is the bloody "honor drama" of classic Spanish theater.

The Spanish plain becomes a terrifying arena of love and death, men die before withering, and women remain sorrowful, wounded representatives of sterile Catholicism and strict conservatism that characterized pre-war Spain.

Intertwined are poetic figures of the Moon in the form of a young woodcutter and the Beggar-woman — a metaphysical embodiment of Evil. The work is part of the trilogy "Blood Wedding," "Yerma," and "The House of Bernarda Alba," and is a celebration of poetic realism, which Lorca so faithfully advocates.
