Symbols:Vineyard/Vine leaves: Growth of some sort. Not only with nature but with the characters in Blood Wedding: I have a feeling that the vines will grow until the climax of the story, when reached the vines will be cut. (?)
Knife: Symbolizes death. (?) Since the brother was killed by a knife and is brought up more than necessary.
Flowers: Carnations: Growth, beauty, elegance. (?)
Pistol: Death.
Weeds: Quickly grows. Considered bad for gerdening.
Mountains: Was talked about how prisoners would stare at the mountains. An area of safety.
Fields: Growth. A place where it is open.
Stream: Water is the source of life.
Sewing (?): A person can make anything they want. (?)
Child: Innocent: Seen as immature. Not "good" enough.
Archetype.
I am still confused with how an author can accept or reject. While reading, by taking an educated guess I would think the author accepts the archetype. How I came to my conclusion....
Mother: This character defintely shows that she is not only nervous but very protective of her children. She asks many questions through out the first act. She is very protective and wants to make sure her son is choosing the right woman to marry. She even shows that she wants to spoil him since he is all she has since the death of her older son and husband.
Bridegroom: The typical son. The character that knows hiis mother is worried and tries to reassure her that everything is alright. He cares about his mother but he also gets frustrated with her overprotective characteristics.
