Archetypes:
One archetype that Lorca displays is the Archetype of a mother.  Lorca displays the mother as being protective and worrisome.  We can see that this is the way she is portrayed by looking at the quote: "How I wish you had been a girl!  You wouldn't be going down to the stream now"(7).  This shows that she is worried that something might happen to her son if he goes down to the vineyard with a knife, she wants to protect him from the dangers that overcame her husband.  Lorca embodies the archetype of a mother because he uses quotes into the book that display her concern for her son, and her protectiveness against potential harm or pain.
