Federico García Lorca's "Died of Love" is not a specific work but a term often associated with his poetry and plays that explore the motifs of love, passion and tragedy. Lorca, one of the most important Spanish poets and playwrights of the 20th century, is known for works in which love often leads to suffering and death, symbolizing inevitable fate and the conflict of passion with social norms.
The motif of love leading to death is present in many of his plays and poems. In the drama "Blood Wedding" (Bodas de Sangre), the love between the bride and Leonardo ends in a tragic double death. Similarly, in "La Casa de Bernarda Alba", repression and the inability to realize love lead to Adeline's suicide.
In Lorca's poetry, especially in the collection "Gypsy Romance" (Romancero gitano), love is portrayed as a force that defies the laws of society and nature, but also as something doomed to fail. The characters are often passionate and rebellious, but still victims of fate and social constraints.
Through the motifs of death and love, Lorca expresses a deep connection between the erotic and the tragic, showing human longing that cannot be realized without pain. His works reflect the melancholy and passion of Andalusia, while love becomes both a sublime and a cursed force, inextricably linked to suffering and sacrifice.
