The magic of true love

I believe that the novel Like Water for Chocolate shows how Tita grows as women from the beginning to the end. In the beginning or the novel she is very submissive and easily dominated by her mother and sisters. As time passes Tita learns to be an individual by disobeying the injustices of her mother and learns in a sense to stand on her own two feet. It is also a novel of falling in love and the magic that love puts into your everyday life simply by being in love or having someone love you. Love is a very strong emotion and many great things can come out of love, just as love can cause problems too. In the beginning the kitchen and cooking was Tita’s only outlet for both her feelings and emotions, but as she grows she though self discovery she learns to vocalize her feelings and emotions to others. Love is one of those emotions that can make a person do things that they wouldn’t normally do.

I feel that if Tita would have been given the chance to be with Pedro and not have to follow the traditions of her family as the last female child she is expected to not have a family and care for her mother until she dies she would have had a very happy life. This is apparent when Tita and Pedro are finally allowed to be together and not hide their love; they are free to do as they please with one another their first act of love making causes them to ignite a passion so strong that their love for one another and the fact that they can finally be together causes them to burst into falls and ultimately die (even though Tita fights it she eventually ends up that way too).

That is true love a love so great that it transcends time and space it is even so powerful that it crosses worlds. They always say that is two people are ment to be together nothing can keep them apart. Tita and Pedro had what I would say the truest and purest form of love. The kind of love that everyone hopes that they can have someday the love of someone how gives themselves whole heartedly to the other. That is the kind of love that fairy tales are made of. I would not consider this a fairly tale even with the magical realism I would consider this to be more true to life. Like Water for Chocolate is to me a novel of true love and that no matter what if it is meant to be it will be and nothing absolutely nothing can stand in the way of true love.
