Yerma (meaning 'Barren') is one of three tragic plays about
peasants and rural life that make up Lorca's 'rural trilogy'. It is
possibly Lorca's harshest play following a woman's Herculean
struggle against the curse of infertility. The woman's barrenness
becomes a metaphor for her marriage in a traditional society that
denies women sexual or social equality. Her desperate desire for a
child drives her to commit a terrible crime at the end of the play.
