The House of Spirits
This book so far has been slightly confusing. It seems wierd to me that Clara would stop talking? Whats the significant point for the reason she stops talking until she announces her marriage? Am I wrong for thinking Barrabas is the coolest person in the novel thus far? I mean who are we suppose to look up to? Certainly not Esteban who is raping every one of his female young peasents in site. I’m hoping as I read more that this Esteban and Clara situation will evolve into something I can understand thoroughly and see what happens to the family cause of it.
It does seem strange at first that Clara would just stop talking, but after reading more and thinking about it I can understand why she would stop talking. I don’t know why she starts talking again when she announces her marriage; I haven’t figured that one out yet.
