Cisernero's work centers on the coming of age in the life of the protagonist, Esperanza. The main theme of the work is the idea of maturation and emotional development. Told in a series of vignettes which help to build the bildungsroman notion in the work, much of what is explored is the idea of being born in both Hispanic and American settings. Given the idea of the emerging identity of being a woman coupled with the discussion of racial...

The Esperanza family from "The House on Mango Street" originally came from Mexico. This fact provides a lot of the interesting elements of the book as the family adjusts to life in a Chicago "chicano ghetto." Ultimately, though, the misogynistic men, violent fathers, and unpleasant husbands found in the book are more indicative of life in poor, urban Chicago than of life in Mexico. One of the book's major themes is Esparanza's desire to...

With regard to family and friends, Esperenza finds two things frustrating in The House on Mango Street. First is her command of the English language. Esperenza quickly realizes that knowing English is freedom. She sees her family members and friends in her poor neighborhood as prisoners in their homes because they can’t speak the language.

Darius is supposed to be stupid--retarded maybe by the nuns. But his view of God is that God is part of the natural world. The children have fun with his ideas and can share in them. He is also very creative. The kids don't feel shame, but instead feel a sense of play and being uplifted. On the other hand, the nuns are viewing a manmade world and seeing everything that Esperanza and her cohorts are as shameful.
