Blood Wedding Journal 6

One of the most miserable characters in the play is the mother.  She has been lonely and upset since the death of her husband and son. In the very beginning of the play the mother expresses her feelings about the whole situation toward her son, the bridegroom. She is having a hard time letting go of the past events and the effects can be seen through her actions, such as her reaction to the bridegroom wanting a knife. When the mother even hears the name Felix she goes into a agitate state as she remembers the past. One of the big thing the mother desires is to not be lonely anymore.  She wants to have another husband to care for, but her religious affiliation stops her. She believes that marriage is a one time thing and that women should only have 1 husband.
