The story of Malinche is a kind of a novel.
Malinalli is the protagonist in the story she
is the lover of Cortes and a translator.
 Hernan Cortes gave the name to Malinalli

being “the tongue” he is also the husband

o f Malinalli. Portocarro the lord of
Malinalli.
 The symbol of the literary work is “the tongue”
because being the tounge is an enormous
responsibility for Malinalli she is the only one
who understand and have an skills to translate
from one language to another one. The theme
of the story is being responsible is the prove
that you can handle any kind of responsibility
 Malinche is a novel from Mexico and Esquivel is from
Mexico. According to Esquivel she wrote her novel
because its “reflects upon the diverse and
unpredictable revision that Malinalli mythical identity
has undergone continuous since the period of the
conquest seeking a middle ground between
Malinalli’s autonomy and Malinche’s
predertermination’’ thats why she is inspired to wrote
a novel.
 The language use in the story is
Spanish and Mexican language but it
is translated to English.
 Religion, we all know that every people
have their own perspective, they choose to
believe in their own perceptions.
 We like the story because it talks about
“responsibility” in our age we need to become
responsible, because we believed that if we
are responsible person it is the prove that we
are matured enough to face our responsibility
in this world.
