Para entender lo que Lorca sufrió como homosexual, debemos entender a la Novia como una marginada, sin poder encajar en su comunidad. En la época de Lorca, la sociedad rechazaba abiertamente a los homosexuales debido a su orientación sexual.

In order to understand how Lorca suffered as a homosexual, we must understand the Bride as an outcast, unable to fit into her community. In Lorca’s times, homosexuals were openly rejected by society for their sexual orientation.
