In La Casa de Bernarda Alba, the mention of terratenientes or landowners is significant as it reflects the socioeconomic context of rural Spain during the early 20th century. Landowners like Bernarda Alba hold significant power and influence over the lives of those who work on their land. The presence of the terratenientes underscores the themes of social hierarchy, oppression, and control present throughout the play. Bernarda’s status as a landowner amplifies her authority within her household and community, further enforcing the strict societal norms and gender roles depicted in the play.
