Description
The Malinche The slave who achieved her freedom About La Malinche, we find that she is a highly complex character and by almost everyone reviled. For many, she is a traitor, a soldadera sold to the Spanish, and that is why the term malinchismo is derived, which, in Mexico, means a preference for the foreigner in contempt of one's own. But how can a slave, a humiliated, offended, and degraded woman, be a traitor to something or someone? La Malinche is an extraordinary woman; from a slave, she became the negotiator between Cortés and Emperor Moctezuma in the days before the conquest of Tenochtitlán. Something inconceivable for both the Spanish and the Nahuatl. In the end, she manages to achieve her freedom, and by her will, she has a daughter, and she forms the first Hispanic-American family. And with that, she left us with 500 years of Hamletian doubt. Is she a woman, That we should admire or despise?
