A modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.

Discussion/Analysis Prompt

What argument does Lorca make about the relationship between death and maintaining one’s honor? Does this relationship affect men and women differently? If so, how? Compare his point of view with the answer from your personal connection prompt.

Teaching Suggestion: This question invites students to think about the concept of honor and honor killings in the context of the play. For Lorca, the maintenance of honor and the death that results from clashes is a cycle of harm that only perpetuates inegalitarian social orders. Encourage students to consider these questions in a classroom discussion while inviting them to connect their answers to their Personal Connection Prompt.
