Esta<\/span> costumbre<\/span> ha <\/span>llamado<\/span> m\u00e1s<\/span> atenci\u00f3n<\/span> porque<\/span> es <\/span>una<\/span> tradici\u00f3n<\/span> que es, <\/span>en<\/span> mi <\/span>opini\u00f3n<\/span>, <\/span>innecesaria<\/span> y <\/span>contribuye<\/span> a las <\/span>injusticias<\/span> que las <\/span>mujeres<\/span> confrontan<\/span> en<\/span> la <\/span>sociedad<\/span>. Estaba <\/span>sorprendida<\/span> porque<\/span> no <\/span>pensaba<\/span> que es\u00a0<\/span>una <\/span>costumbre<\/span> beneficiosa<\/span> y del <\/span>origen<\/span> amor. \u00bfSi <\/span>Mam\u00e1<\/span> Elena le ama a <\/span>su<\/span> hija<\/span>, <\/span>porque<\/span> no le da <\/span>permisi\u00f3n<\/span> de <\/span>casarse<\/span> a su amor? La <\/span>tradici\u00f3n<\/span> se <\/span>requiere<\/span> que la <\/span>hija<\/span> menor<\/span> vive<\/span> en<\/span> una<\/span> jaula<\/span> y <\/span>vive<\/span> una<\/span> vida<\/span> en<\/span> que no <\/span>tiene<\/span> poder<\/span>. <\/span>Esta<\/span> injusticia<\/span> me <\/span>siente<\/span> triste y <\/span>siento<\/span> compasi\u00f3n<\/span> para Tita<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Con <\/span>respecto<\/span> a la <\/span>historia<\/span> Mexicana, la\u00a0<\/span>costumbre<\/span> tiene<\/span> gran <\/span>significado<\/span>. Antes de la <\/span>revoluci\u00f3n<\/span> mexicana<\/span>, las <\/span>mujeres<\/span> no <\/span>ten\u00edan<\/span> la <\/span>libertad<\/span> como<\/span> los<\/span> hombres y <\/span>ten\u00edan<\/span> papeles<\/span> dom\u00e9sticos<\/span> (<\/span>Gardner 18<\/span>). En las <\/span>escuelas<\/span>, las <\/span>chicas<\/span> aprend\u00edan<\/span> de las <\/span>caracter\u00edsticas<\/span> y <\/span>los<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>habilidades<\/span> sexistas<\/span> (<\/span>Gardner 18<\/span>)<\/span>. <\/span>Similarmente<\/span> a Tita, la <\/span>mayor\u00eda<\/span> de las <\/span>mujeres<\/span> pasaban<\/span> mucho<\/span> tiempo<\/span> en<\/span> la casa y <\/span>hac\u00edan<\/span> trabajo<\/span> dom\u00e9stico<\/span>. Sin embargo, la <\/span>tradici\u00f3n<\/span> de la <\/span>hija<\/span> menor<\/span> en<\/span> la <\/span>novela<\/span> no era <\/span>com\u00fan<\/span> en<\/span> la <\/span>mayor\u00eda<\/span> de las <\/span>familias<\/span> mexicanas<\/span> (<\/span>Gardner 18<\/span>). <\/span>Aunque<\/span> la\u00a0<\/span>costumbre<\/span> no era <\/span>prevalente<\/span> en<\/span> la <\/span>cultura<\/span> mexicana<\/span> general, <\/span>refleja<\/span> el<\/span> papel<\/span> sumiso<\/span> de las <\/span>mujeres<\/span> en<\/span> la <\/span>sociedad<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>mexicana<\/span> y <\/span>podemos<\/span> entender<\/span> el<\/span> contexto<\/span> cultural de la <\/span>novela<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Esta tradici\u00f3n es solamente uno de la variedad de costumbres significativas de la novela, “Como agua para chocolate.\u201d No apoyo a esta costumbre pero me gusta c\u00f3mo Esquivel usa la caracterizaci\u00f3n de Mam\u00e1 Elena para implementarla. Soy curiosa de aprender m\u00e1s sobre el impacto de la costumbre en los siguiente cap\u00edtulos.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
