This Year 13 A Level Spanish lesson focuses on the character of Pepe el Romano and the broader theme of male freedom in Federico García Lorca’s La casa de Bernarda Alba.
Through an examination of Pepe’s off-stage presence, key quotes, symbolic elements like the stallion and the night, and other unseen male figures, the lesson explores how Lorca constructs masculine power and gender double standards in 1930s rural Spain.
Students analyze whether men are truly free or constrained by societal structures, ultimately applying these insights to plan and draft a structured, 400-word essay evaluating the extent of male freedom in the play.
Includes Teacher presentation + Student pdf.
