The initial elimination round was based on the accessibility. I checked out physical and digital translations of every copy from Carnegie Mellon University's. A lot of translations needed to be paid for/were sold out. I selected the texts that I felt were true to Spanish culture and reflective of Lorca’s fierce writing style. Reviews of Lorca’s writing, describe that he captured the world of the play rooted so much in reality and in its setting, as well as specific language when talking about taboo subjects. There were many concerns about translations of The House of Bernarda Alba claiming that they were translations when, in actuality, they were adaptations of already translated texts. The next level of elimination was based on the dialogue. Lorca writes in a “table tennis” like matter, the conversations flow very easily and maintain a speed and rhythm. The selection of translations was also eliminated base.
