Archetypes:
Bridegroom - The characterization of the bridegroom as a son is the first glimpse we see of the bridegroom. Lorca seems to be embracing the archetype of a son. The bridegroom is a son who reassures his mother when she is worrying about him. Although he believes her worries make little sense, he entertains the idea of them and reassures his mother that she need not worry about him.

Bridegroom's Mother - Lorca also seems to embrace the archetype of a mother through the bridegroom's mother. The mother is a parent who is likely still grieving the loss of hre husband and son. Due to this loss she worries a lot, perhaps even irrationally. If this was not the nature of mothers, Lorca would be rejecting this archetype, but as we know, this is natural for mothers to do, therefore, Lorca is embracing the archetype.
