Abstract
An examination of Federico Garcia Lorca's trilogy of plays later dubbed the "rural trilogy", which include "Blood Wedding", "Yerma" and "The House of Bernarda Alba". The paper explains that there plays were written over the span of five years, and stand both as individual works and smaller parts of a larger whole. The paper points out that while there are a number of shared and repeated themes, including the subjugation of women in both past and contemporary Spanish society and the power of men that arises from such subservience, the plays are primarily concerned with frustration and repression. The paper then looks at how in the "rural trilogy", Lorca explores the repression of overpowering instincts and desires by societal norms, the hedging of characters' primordial passions by the conventions that govern their lives.
From the Paper
"In Blood Wedding, the first play of the trilogy, the Bride's sexuality and freedom are stifled by a marriage to a socially acceptable but unexciting bridegroom. This is made readily apparent in Act One, Scene Three, where the Bridegroom proposes to the Bride. Throughout the scene, the Bride speaks flatly, dutifully. When her father says "Don't be so solemn," she responds "I'm happy. When I say 'yes', I say it because I mean it," and later, "I know my duty" (Lorca 19). The entire scene is joyless; it's the conclusion of a business arrangement rather than a pronouncement and acceptance of eternal love and togetherness. The Bride is only responsive to her future husband as a duty, a social responsibility (Allen 162)."

Abstract
The paper begins with a review of the plot. Following this, the paper looks at the underlying meaning of the play. The intention of the play to be an image of reality is discussed and the role of women in the play is explored. A detailed synopsis of the build-up to the Spanish Civil War is given and the paper then relates these events to parts of the play. The meaning of the title is analyzed and the symbolism within the play is studied. The social divisions evident in the play are brought up and the theme of illusion versus reality is investigated. The various settings and sounds of the play are also mentioned and the paper concludes with the messages on leadership suggested by the protagonist, Bernarda Alba.
From the Paper
"Federico Garcia Lorca's final published play was The House of Bernarda Alba, written in 1936 just before the start of the Spanish Civil War. The play mirrors many of the tensions then besetting Spanish society, and the plot of the play also reflects the situation developing and in some ways foreshadows what is to come. The basic themes of the play relate to universal concepts of life and death, family unity and disintegration, and social conflict, but they have a resonance in this play because they also are connected to events then taking place and a conflict about to become much greater and more damaging than could then be seen."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the play Blood Wedding by Federico Garcia Lorca. The plan of the research will be to set forth the thematic pattern of ideas and meanings contained in the work and then to discuss the means by which these ideas are elaborated, with a view toward evaluating why the full effect of the presentation is one of high tragedy and the existence of a major work of world literature.
The themes of Blood Wedding emerge out of a structure of human consciousness that carries the burden of remembered conflict, remembered injury, remembered grief. Grief and loss, indeed, so dominate the Mother's consciousness that there is a tension in her anticipation of her son's wedding. So simple a gesture as giving him his vineyard knife calls to her mind the murders of her husband, long ago, and her other son, more..."

Abstract
This paper examines the work of Federico Garcia Lorca and discusses how he contributed to the feeling of femininity and sexuality for Spanish women during the early 1900s. It also looks at the political turmoil that characterized that time period, how this affected his work, and, ultimately, caused his untimely death.
From the Paper
"When Lorca returned to Madrid in 1931 the ?La Barraca? was organized and inaugurated by his participation in the Second Ordinary Congress of the Federal Union of Hispanic Students. This traveling theater would bring many of the Spanish classics to towns, villages and cities across Spain, giving Lorca also the opportunity to have three of his own plays performed ? Blood Wedding (1933), Yerma (1934), and The House of Bernarda Alba (1936)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while on first impression these two plays seem very different, when we focus on the element of tragedy in both plays, we can see the common themes they share.
From the Paper
""Blood Wedding" by Federico Garcia Lorca is one of the most important plays by the Spanish playwright in 1932 and was inspired by a true story. The play revolves around a wedding which leads to betrayal, elopement, bloodshed and tragedy. The few main characters in the play are Bridegroom, Bride, Leonardo and Bridegroom's mother. Henrik Ibsen's The Master Builder was written much earlier in 1892 and deals with complex personality of Harvald Solness, a famous architect who is scared of change. He doesn't let youth prevail for he feels that if younger men enter the field, they would take over his place. He doesn't want to be replaced and is thus paralyzed by his fear of younger generation. "So that is it, is it? Halvard Solness is to see about retiring now! To make room for younger men!" "

Abstract
The paper examines plays by Henrick Isben ("A Doll's House") and Garcia Lorca ("The House of Bernarda Alba") who both wrote very dramatic and risque works which challenged the social standards of the time. The paper shows that in order to dramatize and accentuate the themes of "A Doll?s House" and "The House of Bernarda Alba", Isben and Garcia Lorca employed several specialized on-stage technical devices (such as sound and lighting).
From the Paper
"Throughout the history of theater, playwrights have used color to emphasize a point, theme, statement, etc. Isben and Garcia Lorca use the color black to introduce the presence of death and disobedience. In A Doll?s House, Nora Helmer begins to plan the events of a dreadful evening. She fantasizes that her husband, Torvald, will stand by her side when he is made aware her socially unacceptable actions and that she will then refuse to allow him to ruin his own reputation by publicly announcing herself to blame and committing suicide. While plotting the events Nora becomes uneasy of her planned suicide. Nora says to herself, ?Ah! the icy black water - the unfathomable depths - if only it were over!? (Isben 61). The unrealistic black color of the water Nora plans to drown herself in emphasizes the tragic restrictions placed on society and the consequences resulting in ignoring those restrictions. In The House of Bernarda Alba, Garcia Lorca also uses the color black to show the results of disobeying societal restrictions. Towards the conclusion of the play, shortly before Adela commits suicide, the stage directions call for Adela to wear ?a small black scarf? (Garcia Lorca 205). Adela is wearing the black scarf as she walks out to the barn to visit with her engaged lover. The small amount of black adds emphasis to the fact that Adela is driving herself to suicide through her unsuitable actions."

From the Paper
"The writer's art is generally a process of transforming the foundational substance of one's life into written language. A causal relationship, then, can easily be established between exterior events in a writer's life and subsequent works that follow. However, drawing conclusions regarding a writer's work and events that follow is not an easy process. A critic must avoid creating causal relationships out of coincidental ones. To do so may create a fascinating mythology for an author, but it also risks facile analysis. Creating non-existent connections is shoddy criticism. In the case of the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca, the temptation to infer causality is nearly irresistable. His body of work is utterly saturated with images of violent and brutal death. It examines death from numerous angles, as well as exploring..."

Abstract
The steelworkers' trilogy cases greatly changed the way that arbitration is dealt with in America. In light of this, the paper discusses and analyzes these three cases and determines what arbitration was like before and after the cases took place. This study looks at arbitration in various cases (most notably the steelworkers' trilogy) based on unfair labor practices. There is significance to this based on the fact that the way that arbitration is conducted was changed based on these cases and they made a significant difference in the way that the laws regarding arbitration were handled. Looked at here are the steelworkers' trilogy cases, the history of arbitration both before and after the cases, and the impact that these cases had on arbitration in this country.
Outline
Abstract
Introduction
Arbitration Before the Steelworkers' Trilogy Cases
The Steelworker Trilogy Cases
Case #1 - United Steelworkers of America v. American Manufacturing Co.
Case #2 - United Steelworkers of America v. Enterprise Wheel & Car Corp.
Case #3 - United Steelworkers of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co.
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The steelworkers trilogy cases of 1960 gained much attention at the time and remained famous for years afterward as being the most significant cases where the arbitration of grievances were concerned. In these cases, the United States Supreme Court was aware of the necessity of strict rules to keep arbitration honest and fair for all of the parties that are involved with it. One of the laws under which arbitration awards may be forced or vacated is Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, which has been used for some time in various cases. The Federal Arbitration Act also created guidelines to ensure that arbitration is fair, and there are only four circumstances under Federal law where an arbitration award may be changed or vacated under this Act."

"The Oedipus Trilogy", 2004.
An analysis of the element of tragedy in Sophocles' "Oedipus Trilogy".

Abstract
This paper discusses Sophocles, the master of the tragedy and his "Oedipus Trilogy". The paper contends that the "Oedipus Trilogy" is a prime example of the drama presented in ancient Greece. The paper explains that "Oedipus Rex" is a better example of tragedy than "Antigone", not because it is more 'tragic' by the modern definition in any way, but because of the technicalities of the plot, presentation and characterization within the plays.
From the Paper
"Sophocles is considered to be one of the greatest Greek dramatists, and remains among the most renowned playwrights even today. The Greek tragedy is one of the most influential genres of literary and theatrical history on the modern drama and theatre. The theatre of ancient Greece was inspired by the worship of Dionysus, and the performance of plays was considered to be a religious experience for both the actors and the audience. Because of this, the intensity of the Greek theatre was very strong, and the degree to which the plays were taken seriously as a means of influencing and interpreting life was also very high. According to Aristotle, the philosopher credited with creating the definition of a tragedy, "Tragedy, then, is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude; in language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament, the several kinds being found in separate parts of the play; in the form of action, not of narrative; with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its katharsis of such emotions."

?The Oresteia Trilogy?, 2002.

Abstract
This research analyzes topics related to gender in ancient Greek playwright, Aeschylus' "Oresteia" trilogy, comprising the plays "Agamemnon", "The Libation Bearers" (Choephoroi), and "Eumenides". The relevance of gender-specific themes that emerge in the plays are discussed.
From the Paper
"The importance of engendered social roles is important to the action of the Agamemnon, although as Kitto points out, the play by no means makes clear that Aeschylus shares any particular social values articulated by the characters in the play. In any case, Clytemnestra literally plays the homebody, offering Agamemnon fulsome and public praise upon his appearance, fussing at her women to facilitate his grand entry into the palace. In words that drip with irony, she calls for justice to "lead him to a home unlooked for. The rest my care that never sleeps will order justly" (Ag. 21). Olson says that despite her wickedness, "it is impossible not to respect her, not to admire her.""

Urban and Rural English Culture, 2002.
Comparing & contrasting urban & rural cultures in contemporary England.
5,471 words (approx. 21.9 pages), 12 sources, MLA, AU$ 216.95
»

Abstract
This comparison is limited to England, and does not consider the other regions of Great Britain—Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This paper concentrates on urban culture, and refers to lifestyles, outlooks and social environments in the urban areas of cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool. Rural culture, as the term is used in this comparison, refers to lifestyles, outlooks, and social environments not only in the villages and farm country of England but also to the same factors prevalent in smaller cities and towns located outside the urban rings surrounding England’s larger cities.
Introduction
The Approach to Comparing and Contrasting Urban and Rural Cultures
The Myth of England?s Rural Edens
Issues and Factors Differentiating Urban and Rural Cultures
Land Use and Control
The Animal Dichotomy
Roaming the Land
Social Factors
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Neither the differences nor the similarities between urban and rural cultures in England may be fully appreciated through the recitation of masses of statistics concerning the proportions of school leavers, the underemployed, the poorly housed, or any of the other macro-statistical of which economists and politicians are so enamoured. Rather, the variations in outlooks on life that drive frequently conflicting goals between urban and rural populations, the intrusion of modern social ills that threaten to engulf urban and rural culture alike, and mythology about the realities of urban and rural life are the more meaningful contexts within which urban and rural cultures in England may be compared and contrasted."
