Abstract
When analysing lorca's use of black and white imagery in blood wedding, a first observation would tend to show that the colour white is much more present throughout the play than black, the white being used, not essentially in the characters' clothing as black is used, but also in totally different situations. Although recurrent references of all types are made to the colour white and many characters allude to it in their speech and song from the first till the last scene, and to black in a lesser manner, here are some quotes dealing with the use of white and black in blood wedding where a deeper analysis of their evocation can help further our understanding of lorca's developed sense and skill of the use of symbolism. A first notable use of white imagery is found in a rather indirect manner in the Mother-in-law and Wife's song of the horse "who wouldn't drink" in Act I scene 2.
