Blood Wedding-#6

I think that the most miserable character in the story is the mother. She has to spend all her time basically alone besides her son. Her other son and husband were both killed and she has to deal with them being gone. Her son is also moving on and getting married and she will soon have no one with her. She wants a daughter because then she would have someone that would be safe and be able to always be with her. She expresses her misery very openly with her son whenever a knife is brought up and constantly worries about her son and tries to protect him and keep him safe. She wants to keep her son to herself so she won't be alone, but has to put her happiness aside in order for him to be happy.
