La Malinche: The indigenous slave who achieved her freedom

5/5 ( ratings)

The Malinche
The slave who achieved her freedom

About La Malinche, we find that she is a highly complex character and by almost everyone reviled. For many, she is a traitor, a soldadera sold to the Spanish, and that is why the term malinchismo is derived, which, in Mexico, means a preference for the foreigner in contempt of one's own.
But how can a slave, a humiliated, offended, and degraded woman, be a traitor to something or someone? La Malinche is an extraordinary woman; from a slave, she became the negotiator between Cort�s and Emperor Moctezuma in the days before the conquest of Tenochtitl�n. Something inconceivable for both the Spanish and the Nahuatl.
In the end, she manages to achieve her freedom, and by her will, she has a daughter, and she forms the first Hispanic-American family. And with that, she left us with 500 years of Hamletian doubt. Is she a woman, That we should admire or despise?
