Long Answer
1. Prothalamia are songs/poems performed for a wedding. Throughout the play, prothalamia are interwoven into the text and can be heard in the background of the characters’ dialogues. (Various scenes)
2. Only two characters have names in the play: Leonardo and Rafael, the worker who is briefly alluded to in the beginning. The rest of the characters are named based on their relationship to either the impending wedding (e.g., “the Bridegroom,” “Bride,” etc.), their role in the social order (e.g., “Mother” and “Father”), or their gender (i.e., “boy” and “girl”) (All scenes). This naming convention helps readers understand that, in the world of the play, people are expected to behave in a way that corresponds with an archetypal idea of their social position.
