Bodas de sangre es una tragedia en verso del escritor Federico García Lorca escrita en 1932, y estrenada el 8 de marzo de 1933 en el teatro Beatriz de Madrid con gran éxito tanto en España como en Hispanoamérica. Fue llevada al cine por Carlos Saura en 1981. Es una producción poética y teatral que se centra en el análisis de un sentimiento trágico. Desde la vida y la muerte, a lo antiguo y lo moderno, en la manera de ver la tragedia. Todo ello enmarcado en un paisaje andaluz trágico y universal.
El tema principal que se trata en este drama es la vida y la muerte. Pero de un modo arcano y ancestral, en la que figuran mitos, leyendas y paisajes que introducen al lector en un mundo de sombrías pasiones, que derivan en los celos, la persecución y en el trágico final: la Muerte. El amor se destaca como la única fuerza que puede vencer a la muerte.
La obra recoge las costumbres de su tierra, que aún perduran. Y todo ello a través de objetos simbólicos, que enuncian la tragedia. Es constante en la obra de Lorca la obsesión por el puñal, el cuchillo y la navaja, que en Bodas de sangre atraen la fascinación y, a la vez, presagian la muerte.
