Final Thoughts on the House of Bernarda Alba

I am actually kinda glad i read this play. So far, the House of Bernarda Alba is my favorite play this year. It was very interesting from beginning to end and i enjoyed reading every page. Reading it was also pretty easy. The play was not dense or boring at all. I was always interested in finding out the plot and what was going to happen next. I laughed a couple times when I read some of Maria Josefa's and Bernarda's actions. Most of the time it was because it was funny, others because i really couldn't believe that they did that. Like when Bernarda didn't want her mother going to the well not because she could fall in it, but the idea that the neighbors could see her from their windows. One thing i really appreciated about the play was all the symbols and motifs it had. It was fun discovering what each one meant, how it contributed to the play, and what themes could possibly derive from it. On a scale of one to ten, the House of Bernarda Alba would receive a 8 or 8.5.
