"Choose two themes and discuss how each theme is similar to or different to a theme in one of the other plays we have read."
1. Blood ties/Family
This is similar to Blood Wedding because in Blood Wedding the two families felt that they had to take sides when the Bride ran away. Everyone knew the inevitable death of one member of one of the families would happen which leads to my second theme.
2. Inevitable Death
Inevitable Death shows up in both Blood Wedding and Antigone. However, in Blood Wedding, the inevitable death is not known to the characters themselves, nor to anyone around them. No one actually knows that they will inevitably die in the end. In Antigone, the inevitable death is known to the main character, and she excepts it. She even is willing to create it herself.
