        <description><![CDATA[Different aspects are highlighted, depending on which characters you study. Cleofilas suffers from battered woman's syndrome, in that she routinely forgives her abusive husband, believing that her role is to love him unconditionally. She is trapped by her cultural role as a wife, which leads to complete isolation. She has no friends, no vehicle of her own (which she couldn't drive anyway), no job, nowhere to turn.

        <description><![CDATA[The title is  an allusion to an old Mexican folk tale and foreshadows the journey of the main character in the story, Cleofilas. Cleofilas leaves her family in Mexico and moves across the border to get married. She thinks her life will be like the romantic Mexican telenovelas she has grown up watching. Instead, her husband is very abusive and she begins to identify with the &quot;Woman Hollering Creek&quot; that is near their house. The river...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are a number of quotes that describe Cleofilas' abuse, which was both physical and mental.  Soon after her marriage, &quot;the moment came, and he slapped her once, and then again, and again; until the lip split and bled an orchid of blood&quot;.  Then later, symbolically profaning all her dreams, &quot;He had thrown a book.  Hers.  From across the room.  A hot welt across the cheek.  She could forgive that.  But what stung more...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Cisneros writes about Cleofilas who is trapped in her traditional role as a woman that is assigned to her by her Mexican culture. She struggles to find the power within her by leaving her husband. It describes the lives of Mexicans who have crossed the border to live in the American Southwest. Cleofilas is a poor woman, trapped in a violent marriage and isolated because of her language barrier. Cisneros makes it clear that historically, women...]]></description>
