The House and the Window Motifs in \The House on Mango Street\ by Sandra Cisneros
2023
Overview
This study aims at examining Sandra Cisneros' use of the house and the window motifs in her 1984-novel, The House on Mango Street. The paper aims to relate both motifs to postcolonial feminism by analyzing the Mexican-American female characters, the Chicanas, in the novel with Esperanza Cordero as the protagonist and narrator. The selected novel by the Mexican-American Sandra Cisneros depicts, through the lens of Esperanza, the \"doubly marginalization\" of the Chicanas as being relegated into a secondary position to the Americans in the white society, and then relegated once more to a marginalized position to their men in the barrio. So, the goal of this paper is to explore the limited spaces given to the Chicanas, this paves the way for the readers to depict the binary relation between the inside and the outside, between the Chicanas' confinement and their aspiration to self-assertion in both society and literature.
