“WayWay!,” Jesse said loud, trying to not shout in case he woke the residents up. He scuttled down the path after his brother, who was determined to knock on this door. Up the rickety porch steps he went, it creaked and crackled under his weight.

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,

January 8, 1981, Allende begin writing a goodbye letter to her 99-year-old grandfather who was dying, she narrates in her biography, Paula, “I wanted to tell him not to worry, that nothing would be lost of the treasury of anecdotes he had told me through the years of our comradeship; I had forgotten nothing” (Levine). Once she started she could not stop, it quickly turned into her family story titled, The House of the Spirits. This book was a way to connect to her family she left behind so many years ago. Even though the country in which this book is written is never named, it is assumed this takes place in Allende’s native country, Chile. In this novel,

The Royall House is notable for being the one of the only surviving slave quarters in Massachusetts, but it also come with a history that for a long time was hidden and had untold stories of human lives that were crucial in funding one of the most notable stables in Boston MA. That staple is The Harvard law school and the untold story is of the 27 slaves who traveled here from Antigua to be servant to one of the wealthiest families in Massachusetts the Royall’s. Africana studies taught me that it’s important to not suppress the realities of factual event or realities of history, you have to bring it to the light and help people learn from it. The Royall house and Slave quarters in Medford MA, is one of the reason this why Africana Studies is important this house, now a museum has hidden truths, controversy and a history lesson all in one.

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. The reader sees his brutal nature through the way he deals with people around him, whom in his eyes are all significantly inferior. However, one minor character in The House of the Spirits seems to change Trueba’s aggressive nature. 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

In her famous The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende documents the life of several characters during the Chilean reality in the 1930s. Her notorious feminist ideology is, at times, extremely obvious. Elements such as the clash of social classes and the social, political and economical conditions of Chile during this period of high turmoil are also well portrayed. Isabel Allende achieves to give us a good image of what life in Chile was like during those years. Some particular characters specially exemplify all of these elements very clearly.

When you wonder at night the door will shriek across the moldy floor. The shutters will open and close, and open and close. OPEN HOUSE, there is a new house on the market.

The Winchester house is one of the oddest and one of most haunted houses in the world. It is located in northern California. It cost over $20,000,000 to make. The owner, Mrs. Winchester, was rich because her family made the Winchester repeating rifle known as “The gun that won the west”. The house has 160 rooms and there are spirits in each room. The builders had to keep remaking rooms that if Mrs. Winchester kept them all she would have 600 rooms. So when they were done with the house, which took over 30 years to make, there were stairs that led to the ceiling and doors that led to walls.

The House of the Spirits, written by Isabel Allende, is a book that touches on many themes. Of these themes, social struggle arises. The book takes place in Latin America where there is an upper and lower class. When looking at the characters of the book, the upper class is made up of people like the del Valle family and the Trueba family while the lower class is made up of the poor that are unable to gain any social power unless they are in the military or have a government job. Throughout the book, it can be seen that the poor do not really have much of a say in society due to the fact that the same political party has been in power for decades. This allows Esteban to gain and hold his own power as a Conservative. Early on in the book, it is shown that Esteban Trueba’s tenacity in rebuilding Tres Marias was one part of how Esteban had the ability and characteristics to gain political power later on. It is not until the socialists win near the end of the book that major changes start affecting those in the upper and lower classes.

Throughout Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits dissimilar individuals constantly come together to form relationships that change or develop their disposition. While Allende uses relationships to build upon a character, she also depicts a character's living environment in order to confirm their true soul and lifestyle. Due to the observation of both relationships and environments, a character's true qualities are expressed to a reader. The relationship between two individuals, Ferula and Clara, proves itself a positive product of the union of differing people. Through analysis of Ferula's home and close observation of her bond with Clara,
