Characters in this play gossip about the purchase of stockings decorated with a swallow, a boat, and a rose. A character in this play with honor “brighter than a white sheet in the sun” asks for a knife to eat grapes, (10[1])to which his mother (10[1])responds, “Knives, knives… curse them all, (10[2])and the wretch who invented them.” (10[1])A character in this play reveals (10[1])that another character’s orange blossoms were made of wax. After two characters flee this play’s title event, they are pursued into a forest (10[1])where Death appears (10[2])as a beggar woman (10[6])and the (10[1])moon appears (10[2])as a (10[1])woodcutter. (10[7])For 10 points, (10[1])name (10[1])this play by Federico García Lorca (10[1])in which the Bride (10[3])abandons (10[1])the (10[1])Groom (10[3])for Leonardo. ■END■ (10[2]0[2])
