As in any self-respecting writer, in Garcia Lorca, your concerns and concerns they were reflected in his works with certain recurrence. In the following article we will expose some of them:

Love and sex They were two of the main engines of Lorca's work. The first of them is a kind of validation or justification of the second that is often hidden under elaborate symbols that often allow us to glimpse the author's own frustration with the repression of the environment against homosexuality.

La death It was another of Federico's obsessions, who nevertheless saw in her a mystery that had a certain attraction. Death is often related to the oppression of love or erotic feelings, such as Adela, the young protagonist of "The House of Bernarda Alba" who ends up committing suicide after seeing her relationship with her mother frustrated by the prevailing power of her mother. Pepe El Romano.

All the Social injustices. In this case not only referring to sexual options or freedom of love but also to the political or ideological. Lorca's vision in this regard is realistic and therefore pessimistic since he realizes how the defenseless always lose, especially when their ideas or feelings collide with those of power.
