        <description><![CDATA[Overall the family regards Uncle Marcos with a great deal of affection, though there is one exception. Most of what we learn about the family's opinion of Uncle Marcos can be found in the first chapter.
Nivea, Marcos' sister, has a great fondness for her eccentric brother. In the first chapter we see her throw herself onto his coffin shouting words of mourning when his body is returned ravaged with an African plague. She also overlooks many of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It's always interesting to discuss the point of view in regards to House of the Spirits!  The majority of the narration is truly third person omniscient (called thus because this narrator knows everything and tells the reader).  This narrator is always using the terms he or she to refer to people (which is the reason why "third person" is in its description) and always relates what they think and feel. 
However, there are a couple of other...]]></description>

"It would be lovely if we were all created equal, but the fact is we're not"
