From the first lines of The House of the Spirits, Allende uses the technique of a feminized magical realism to pull the reader into a political-historical novel. Alba Trueba from Allende’s The House of the Spirits is an effective example of this revolutionary female narration. Her story, which includes her female relatives’ viewpoints and excludes Trueba’s version, is a direct block to Trueba’s egotistic, stiff, and not exactly true version of events. Her woman-centered narration is, further, a symbol of the triumph of women’s expression and their revision of patriarchal and authoritarian history. Alba watches the military erase history and devastate the country, but she in turn uses her power of writing to resist. Alba and her female, therefore,

Much of The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende revolves around the life of one of its main characters Esteban Trueba. Esteban Trueba is an aggressive, violent character whose only goals throughout the novel are to achieve success and power.

When Esteban first meets Transito Soto, she is a prostitute in a brother nearby to his farm in Tres Marias. However, she soon proves much more worthy. What may seem like an insignificant meeting at first turns out to affect his life over and

The spirits might have been in the room and the flies could only smell the rotting of the flesh as if they were still alive.George were usually a very thorough person, but times changed when he moved into the Amityville house. “George would wake up nightly at 3:15 a.m. which coincided with the time the police felt the DeFeo’s were murdered” (warrens.net) Most people skip through this, but really it’s important. George reportedly woke up at 3:15 am every night. This could be fake, but waking up at the same time the Lutz family would be the spirits waking him up to help them. Or he could be woken up at the parents of the family being shot to death and he could pressure of the bullet. The detail is very clear. Butch did not do a great job with tidying up the house and cleaning up the

Would you move out, or stay and let the disease kill you, or would you try to fight it?
