Exploration Project Reflection

This project has pushed me into diving into deep research about Federico Lorca. Before doing this project, I had no idea about how interesting this writer would be. I have to find out that Lorca was an incredible influential artist that was unapologetic about his views, his work, as well as his own person. Lorca’s life was sadly too short, otherwise, who would know what more work he would have put out. In my project, I made a timeline of his life, including events of his personal life as well as the world events that may have affected him in it too. In another post, I had included short analysis’s of three notable works from Lorca, throughout his life. I included a poem from his very first book, to a poem from a time after he received success and one of his last works, The Blood Wedding. In doing so, the audience can really see  how Lorca’s style change throughout this career due to changes in his personal life and changes in the political climate.

If I had more time, on this project, I would have analyzed more of his work, and have done much more research on each work. In my “Lorca’s Literature & Politics” post, I could have included  more short excerpts of each poem/ tragedy and highlighted certain lines and explained their significance to Lorca’s message.
