MALINCHE
By: Laura Esquivel
(MEXICO)
The excerpt story about Malinche by Laura Esquivel shows the relationship between Malinalli and Cortes. Both of them has different culture and beliefs because Malinalli believes to other Gods while Hernan Cortes is a christian.
But despite of their differences, they've learned how to love each other. It shows us that differences doesn't matter when it comes to love even if you don't have the same religion, language, beliefs, and culture. As long as you love each other, there would be a way for you to understand each other.
Malinche known as "The Tongue" because she is interpreter of Hernan Cortes and being interpreter is a big responsibility for communicating between different languages. It lighten our mind and heart that every word you interpret is a powerful weapon/ the finest of weapons and it is proven by Malinalli that's why she is a powerful person because of her ability to translate the words even if it was so difficult for her translating complex ideas from one languages to the others.
Being " The Tongue" was an enormous responsibility because as an individual we couldn't see how to prevent mistake or misinterpret words. Words could be weapons because without words we can't do actions even if I believe that action is better than words.
I conclude that we must learn to know first the characteristics of a person that surround us before we trust them so that we are aware of what might happen. Like what the story of Malinalli in which Malinalli is considered as traitor of Mexico because she was the reason why spaniards have conquered Mexico.
