Blood Wedding #7

When and how does Lorca break the fourth wall (google the term)?  What is the affect of reminding the reader that the events on the stage are not real?

In this scene he starts out with the Maid singing, but what I noticed was more in the end of this scene. This is the part where the people at the wedding discover that the Bride has fled with Leonardo and everyone of course is panicking. The Bridegroom is already asking for a horse so he can search for his wife and the Mother is starting to blame this whole thing on the Bride, and basically calling her indecent. Of course, her Father tries to defend his daughter. This part is really important because now everything is out in the open and we can see the action rising as the Bridegroom burns in rage. Before anything actually happens however, Lorca has a crowd of people start to sing about the situation. Because it is such a dramatic moment I think Lorca wanted his audience to get them to think logically and realize that this is just a play, and having this sort of ending to this scene brings you back to realize it's just a scene. But it also highlights the important aspects of the scene.
