engaging love story

The characters' emotions are so accurately portrayed, emboding the traditional themes of Lorca, that the characters come alive in the scenes. However, the beginning and ending of the play, the struggles between the man and the wife, also portray human nature and the futility of perfect love as Lorca sees it. Good reading, real story.
