I will be discussing fear through the novel. I plan to describe why fear is used through the novel and how it effects characters. The characters of the novel experience fear through the whole story. The effect of it on characters develops the story. Allende uses fear to show deeper emotions in people, leading them to have to change drastically to survive. Fear is a illusion of the mind used to shield one from facts that changes ones own body. The main focus will be on Estaban Truebas has his own fear of many things including His daughter and granddaughter. His fear is of love between two different classes of people that he feels will destroy his family name and everything he has worked towards. This causes him to react to try and change things that he can't.
