In Spain, those who deliberately put themselves in danger were idealized. The heart of this idea is centered on the Spanish bullfighting sport. In such an act, the bullfighter, or matador, baits the bull into the bullring and then kills it for the audience. One matador in particular was extremely popular. His name was Ignacio Sánchez Mejías. Not only was he praised for his bullfighting skills, but he was also intellectually gifted. He was a critic, poet, actor and sportsman. He finally gave up bullfighting, but in 1934 made the fatal mistake of returning to the ring one last time. During the latter event, he was gored by the bull and eventually died of gangrene from his injuries. A dear friend and poet of the matador, Garcia Lorca, commemorated him by writing an elegy entitled “Lamentation for Ignacio Sánchez Mejias”. It was written to commemorate and celebrate the death of a man many considered the bravest and most valiant matador in Spain. It is a long elegy divided into four parts corresponding to four dramatic movements. These movements are governed by an emotional pattern, descending into grief and despair as full awareness of the loss sets in, then gradually moving through the grief to a point where the poem begins to rise to again, finding some sort of reconciliation and comfort. Through this emotional journey, Garcia Lorca immortalizes the memory of a deceased friend. In the first part, "Cogida and Death", Lorca creates the turmoil, Ignacio's accident and the agony of death that finally surrounded him. It opens immediately at the very time of the tragedy, “five o'clock in the afternoon” (1), and then lingers on the horrifying details of the arenas. Lorca recreates the scene with "A boy brought the white one, it...... in the middle of a paper...... only art can preserve Ignacio, and with his words he will build a verbal monument that will stand the test of time.Garcia Lorca's poem carries us through the tragedy, to the bitter resolution. It paints for us a morbid, cold but memorable scene of Ignacio's death, while doing so. proof of honesty in his feelings regarding the death of his beloved friend He initially refused to accept the death of the bullfighter, refusing to contemplate his blood. But through this refusal, he recounted the many wonders of. his friend, who pushed him to finally contemplate the body In doing so, he reflects on the mystery of death, and with the idea of ​​death, you will become nothing more than a distant memory and will eventually be forgotten. in Lorca's final protest, or resolution, he accepts that he will always carry his memory with him and sing his name, giving him a permanent form that death cannot overcome..
