Throughout the first half of the semester, we’ve explored the role of women as seen through the
Mexican Literature we’ve encountered. As a class we’ve discussed the ways these narratives
have been developed since the arrival of the Spanish. Two women have defined Mexico,
socially, culturally, religiously, and historically: La Malinche and La Virgen de Guadalupe.
Using the literature you have read in class thus far:
- Explain the role of women in Mexico and their narratives.
- Describe how these narratives affected your own views towards women.
- Finally explain your position on the following:
Is is justified for la Malinche to be considered a traitor to Mexico? Consider every
aspect of her life and circumstance.
In order to complete this paper you will use
at least four (4)
of the readings we’ve covered in
class so far.
Papers will be
at least five (5)
pages in length, and will include a cover page. Cover pages do
not count as a page.
Points will be deducted for grammar and spelling errors, so please review and proofread your
papers.
