The Youngest Doll Analysis
The Youngest Doll is a short story by Rosario Ferre. The book is about a maiden aunt who devoted her life to take are of her nieces. She never marries due to a incident where a river pawn bites her calf, because of minimal treatment it nestles there to grow. She makes all her nieces life sized dolls on all they're special days such as birthday's and weddings. Later in the story we found out that the physician could have cured the aunt but doesn't because it pays for his son's education. The son ends up marrying the youngest niece and treats her as a trophy and not a wife. This is such an amazing and interesting story because it symbolizes how woman are seen as objects that benefit men and we aren't treated equally.
