Nick's OP Topic
I will talk about the concept of a mother being the anchor of a family. I will evaluate the evidence of this so far in The House of The Spirits, and I will compare it to evidence that I will pull from Allende's own life and current statistics. This is to see if Allende chooses to portray mothers as the ones who hold together families to make a feminist point, to see if its a representation of her life, or to see if it is simply used coincidentally.

What examples are you going to use? Maybe something other than just Clara, like Amanda as a mother-figure.
ReplyDeletego larger if you can. What cultural/historical significance is here? Does it apply to feminist struggle as a whole? What is the plight of women in Chile now?
