Ines De La Cruz
The film start with the new viceroy and the new archbishopric talking about how to govern New Spain (Mexico), that they should try to work together unlike in Spain. They also say that it’s their duty to make sure New Spain is saved. However plans never really go as planned specially in this film. Then it goes to the convent to Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz and the nuns are having a meeting about the new viceroy and his visit to their convent. The nuns say the new viceroy also can’t wait to see Juana Ines de la Cruz and the nuns jump for joy it seems that Juan is the pride of the convent though all the nuns have the same reaction.

Although in the document (Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz’s letter to Sor

Filotea) the bishop of Puebla Manuel Fernandez de Santa Cruz wrote as Sor Filotea and was

friends with Juana. This calls into question on reliability of the movie, also when Juana kisses the

one of the professors after she was tested in Mexico City and later when she kisses the viceroy’s

wife Maria Luisa calls into question the accuracy of the film.

Also if one wants to compare to Saint Rosa of Lima to Juana Ines de la Cruz they are

very different women. In the document “Santa Rosa of Lima according to a pious accountant”

(1617) a description on her life and how she was devoted to God. She cut her hair, poured cold

water on her body, pushed her body to its limits; how she wore a crown of thorns in essence she

punished herself. This was viewed as a virtues woman and an orthodox life for a nun even

though she never became a nun and the people of Peru adored her. Here we have a woman that

would be considered crazy in modern time been adored in the seventeen century. While Juana

had been discourage form writing for doing a men’s job in those times even if she did it

    In the historical references located at the end of the novel titled “The Postscripts,” Julia Alvarez explained in detail that although she had extensively researched the Mirabal sisters and the regime of Trujillo, some of the characters and dates were changed in an attempt to make the readers mind travel into what it could have been like to someone who was not there (Alvarez 323-324). Alvarez was the speaker behind the sisters, therefore she was their interpreter, their voice, she did not have enough accurate information to write a biography, and therefore she added fictitious elements to liven their spirits. The spirits of the Patricia, Maria Theresa, and Minerva will always be remembered by many because of their tremendous efforts to resist Trujillo’s regime and to restore a democracy that would enable many more liberties amongst the Dominicans.…
