Lorca Journal 6

"Two days ago they brough in my neighbor's son- with both arms cut off by the machine'.
"Rafael?"(Lorca 12).
The name "Rafael" is represents God's healer in the Bible. For BW to state that G"od's healer is hurt, and cannot function correctly highlights the church's inability to help and morally heal people.

"Sleep, my child, and dream about the giant horse who didn't want the water" (Lorca 17)
This quote is a reference to Freud's theory of the subconscious.

"You know my fiancee's a good girl" (Lorca 10)
The idea of being defined as "good" highlights the church's morals.

"My mother came from a place where there were many trees, from a fertile land" (Lorca 39).

"Fate" (Lorca 39)
The idea of "fate" comes from Greek theater and Greek ideas.

"It never cools off around here, not even at dawn!" (Lorca 39)
A reference to Lorca's homeland that was dry, rocky, and very hot.

"(This entire scene is violent, filled with great sensuality)" (Lorca 92).
This side note highlights Freud's concept of the Id. The Id is responsible for people's desire for sex and aggression.

"(The MOON is a young woodbutter in whiteface" (81).
The idea of the moon being an actual character brings in the idea of surrealism, and breaks the fourth wall.
