Once the novelette starts there is some confusion in the manner to read it with the view being from the third person. This makes the whole novel just that much more personal to the reader and enhances the experiences of the antagonist, Felipe Montero. As Felipe is brought into the life of Aura and Consuelo there are some signs of change and growth from the protagonist, Consuelo.

This will be discussed at a later time in the paper. After th
