The psyche is a manifold of conscious and unconscious contents, and the symbol is their mediator. Because Lorca's dramatic characters are psychic entities made up of both conscious and unconscious elements, they unfold, grow, and meet their fate in a dense realm of shifting symbols.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn Psyche and Symbol in the Theater of Federico García Lorca\u003c\/i\u003e, Rupert Allen analyzes symbologically three dramatic works of Lorca. He has found \u003ci\u003ePerlimplín\u003c\/i\u003e to be a good deal more complex in both psyche and symbol than it has been admitted to be. \u003ci\u003eYerma\u003c\/i\u003e involves psychological complications that have not been considered in the light of modern critical analysis, and the symbolic reaches of\u003ci\u003eBlood Wedding\u003c\/i\u003e have until this book remained largely unexplored.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLorca was no stranger to the \"agony of creation,\" and this struggle sometimes appears symbolically in the form of his dramatic characters. Both Yerma and Blood Wedding reflect specific problems underlying the creative act, for they are \"translations\" into the realm of sexuality of the creative turmoil experienced by Lorca the poet. Perlimplín portrays the paradoxical suicide as a self-murder born out of the futile attempt to create not a poem, but a self.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrevious criticism of these three plays has been dominated by critical assumptions that are transcended by Lorca's own twentieth-century mentality. Allen's analysis provides a new view of Lorca as a dramatist and presents new material to students of symbology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRupert C.
