barren

In his play "The Barren Woman," Lorca portrays a woman living between two equal passions that turn her life into a prison: on the one hand, the desire to become a mother, and on the other, her forced devotion to a husband she despises. In his play, Lorca criticizes a society immersed in contexts that elevate rigid norms on whose rocks the hopes of people searching for their small dreams in trembling hope are shattered. The shadows of the strict father, traditions, gossip, the slavery of the marriage system, sorcery, and the struggle to avoid the dark fate of all the above. Lorca remains fascinating and influential in everything he wrote.
