Abstract
In the article, the prototypical facts of real life that inspired Lorca to write “Blood wedding” are studied. The tragedy by Lorca is compared with the original story taken in different versions from several sources. For this purpose, the two nearest newspapers’ notes are analyzed. Daily newspaper ABC released on the 25th and the 28th of July, 1928 gives scarce facts, but it still discovers the author and his motives for the murder it describes the root cause of the conflict as well. Another article released by Almería Daily (El diario de Almería) on the 24th of July, 1928 adds more facts, describes details, and gives opinions. The differences between the original plot and the tragedy of Federico García Lorca are discovered. Thus the features that Lorca had changed to transform an ordinary criminal plot into a masterpiece are divided. The directions of this artistic transformation are outlined. The psychoanalytic method is used to explain these mechanisms, as the logic of human reflection is based on symbols: interaction between images and concepts. Other changes in the plot occur due to the mechanism of displacement from one person (character, fact) to another. The features turning “Blood wedding” into a classic tragedy, known among the humans from the age of Ancient Greece, are highlighted.
