The House Of Bernarda Alba (2)

Tonight, I continued reading this play. I'm a little confused about what is going on but I think I have the direction in which what is happening. So far, I figured out the husband of Bernarda has died. Bernarda doesn't really seem that affected in terms of being upset or sad or having grief. Poncia sounded a little betrayed when Bernarda reminded her that she was a slave and nothing more to her. Bernarda is really just a bitch, in my mind at least. I understand where she's coming from about staying locked up in the house and everything. It's how she was raised and what she was taught to believe. At that point you really can't do anything to change the person. But she is really mean to her daughters. She should at least lighten up on them. They need a little freedom to live. Well, I'll keep on reading tomorrow.

P.G. : 89
