Yerma is married to an honest man, but her life runs with blood. Written in 1934, the play tells the story of a childless woman in a time when women's value came entirely from bearing children. Her desperate desire for motherhood becomes an obsession that eventually leads her to commit a horrible crime. The dilemma of this work is Freudian in nature: If someone loves but does not have desire, can they make someone else happy and give her a meaningful life? At the same time, if she cannot articulate what she wants in the terms of modernity, we never know whether she wants to be a mother, wants to be desired, or wants to be fulfilled? Fortunately, the talent of Garcia Lorca goes above and beyond and creates a work that reveals new facets of personal growth and frustration with each reading La vida corre por la sangre de Yerma y est� casada con un hombre honesto. El dilema de esta obra es freudiano, �si alguien ama y no desea, puede hacer feliz a alguien y puede, incluso, darle una vida intensa? A la vez no puede articular qu� quiere en los t�rminos de la modernidad. �Quiere ser madre, quiere ser deseada, quiere ser plena? Nunca sabremos del todo qu� quiere. Por suerte el talento de Garc�a Lorca va m�s all� y a haciendas de todo esto cada lectura de esta obra nos revela otra arista de las b�squedas personales y la insaciable incapacidad para encontrar alguna forma de epifan�a.
