Cortez and La Malinche: A Romantic Invention

Hell hath no fury... "Behind every great man..." So, what does this say about the infamous La Malinche, the woman behind the fabled Conquistador, Hernan Cortez? Known as La Malinche...the Captain's Woman. Here we find a woman rejected by her own mother, her own culture. What happens when that which supports identity is ripped away? What energy drives creation and adoption of new identity? Cast as pure naked being into a unique cultural cauldron, her genius seems to lie in her ability to see clearly her skill set and to instinctively understand her power to encourage, manipulate, and guide the ego of an invader. Was her motive simple revenge for the death of her father? Or to bring into reality her father's dream of a Mexico reborn? Or was a more profound, unseen synchronicity in play, with three fated pawns playing scripted roles: Cortez, La Malinche, and Montezuma? This humble book is an imaginary exploration into possible origins of the "La Malinche" so abhorred in Mexican history.It is, as suggested by the title, a Romantic Invention.
