"Bernarda Alba" is a play written by Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca in 1936. The story revolves around Bernarda Alba, a strict matriarch who imposes an eight-year mourning period on her five daughters after the death of her second husband. The play explores themes of repression, desire, and the struggle for freedom within a patriarchal society. Set in a rural Spanish village, the narrative highlights the tensions between the daughters as they grapple with their confined lives and unfulfilled dreams. The oppressive atmosphere created by Bernarda ultimately leads to tragic consequences, reflecting the broader societal constraints faced by women during that era.
