Archetypes:
Mother: There's two different mothers, there's the groom's mother and also Leonardo's mother-in-law. Both are portrayed as being nurturing and loving their children and taking care of them. It seems as though Lorca embraces the archetype of a nurturing mother figure. Leonardo's mother in law is helping her daughter take care of the baby and the groom's mother is worrying about her son.

Bride: When the audience first meets the bride it becomes clear that there are certain expectations of a women and that she is supposed to marry, have children and not do much else. Her father brags that she "never speaks". So apparently women weren't really expected to talk much. And the mother warns her and makes sure she knows what she is "giving up" by being a wife. But after the mother and groom leave, the bride changes and becomes more animated and not docile at all. She yells at the maid and acts like she doesn't really even want to be a wife. It seems as though maybe Lorca is rejecting the archetype of a wife from this scene.
