Paper Summary:

This paper deals with the inability of Esteban Trueba, the main character in Isabelle Allende's "The House of the Spirits" to maintain emotional relationships with those close to him, including his mother, his sister, and Clara. The paper includes a brief analysis of the book as well as a complete analysis of the main character.

From the Paper:

"Trueba's bad temper became legend, and grew so exaggerated that it even made him uncomfortable" (Allende 63). This quote, from The House of the Spirits, centers on the mindset of Esteban Trueba, the main male character. Esteban had originally been engaged to Rosa Del Valle, but her premature death by poisoning came as an unfortunate blow. He ends up marrying Clara, Rosa's sister, who he comes to love, but not as much as Rosa. Throughout the course of three generations, Esteban becomes despised in the family due to his wicked temper and stubbornness. However, the one person he comes to share a relationship, Alba, his granddaughter, is one of true love, but it is also the most threatened out of his relationships."
