In this section of the reading Clara emerges as a strong leading character. Because of her psychic abilities she is able to take control of her life and doesn’t let anyone tell her what to do. I really like this quality in her; she inspires a confident and strong woman. Clara also seems to be taking the place in everyones hearts where Rosa used to occupy. The people closest to her are awed by her powers and gravitate to her emotionally, which used to be the case with Rosa. I find it interesting that this family has two daughters that are beautiful, powerful and have an air of mystery. Another interesting part in this section is the union of Esteban and Clara. Esteban was originally Rosa’s fiance, but after her death Clara took her place. It is strange to me that Clara marries him, just because of a premonition, and not out of real love. I think that Clara lets these premonition rule her life a little too completely. This could cause her problems in the future.
Great observations and very well articulated.
