Yerma


Overview

Yerma is married to an honest man, but her life runs with blood. Written in 1934, the play tells the story of a childless woman in a time when women's value came entirely from bearing children. Her desperate desire for motherhood becomes an obsession that eventually leads her to commit a horrible crime. The dilemma of this work is Freudian in nature: If someone loves but does not have desire, can they make someone else happy and give her a meaningful life? At the same time, if she cannot articulate what she wants in the terms of modernity, we never know whether she wants to be a mother, wants to be desired, or wants to be fulfilled? Fortunately, the talent of Garcia Lorca goes above and beyond and creates a work that reveals new facets of personal growth and frustration with each reading La vida corre por la sangre de Yerma y esta casada con un hombre honesto. El dilema de esta obra es freudiano, ?si alguien ama y no desea, puede hacer feliz a alguien y puede, incluso, darle una vida intensa? A la vez no puede articular que quiere en los terminos de la modernidad. ?Quiere ser madre, quiere ser deseada, quiere ser plena? Nunca sabremos del todo que quiere. Por suerte el talento de Garcia Lorca va mas alla y a haciendas de todo esto cada lectura de esta obra nos revela otra arista de las busquedas personales y la insaciable incapacidad para encontrar alguna forma de epifania.
