Mama Ele...I disagree that this is a feminist text. Mama Elena, who truly subverts gender expectations, is consistently vilified. Further, she (along with EVERY other female in the novel) is unable to live as an independent woman. Once Pedro dies, Tita sees herself as having no reason to live. Essentially, she commits suicide to be with him. Why not have her move on and find fulfillment in herself instead of in a relationship? Gertrudis's rebelliousness happens entirely away from the ranch; no one sees how she rose through the ranks and succeeded in a male-dominated field. Furthermore, Rosaura is horrifically treated because she had the audacity to expect her husband to remain faithful to her and their marriage vows. Neither Tita nor Esperanza rebel: they both wait until the authority figures die. Chencha is only deemed "healed" after being raped when a man deems her acceptable and marries her. This seems the opposite of a feminist text, to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
