Support your students in developing deeper literary analysis skills with this worksheet on Bodas de sangre. It encourages students to interpret metaphors, symbolism and imagery while analysing key quotations from the play.

Rather than simply recalling information, students are challenged to explain meaning, interpret literary devices and connect quotations to the wider themes of the text, making this an excellent resource for exam preparation and essay writing.

Students will:

• identify important metaphors from the play and explain their significance
• analyse quotations in their literary context
• interpret recurring symbols including the moon, blood, the knife, the horse, the forest and orange blossom
• match symbols with their thematic meaning
• explore imagery and discuss how Lorca builds tension and tragedy
• strengthen analytical vocabulary for literature essays and oral discussions

This worksheet is ideal for: critical thinking rather than simple recall. It helps students gain confidence when analysing literary language and discussing themes, symbolism and authorial intention.
