Aura- poem by Jules Michelet
This poem embodies the magical realism of the portrayal of women. In many novels, women have the power to persuade and seduce men in a magical way- in aura, consuelo is able to persuade Felipe to stay at the house with the influence of Aura. In the poem, it states how woman have a second sight and wings that enables her to fly to the infinite of desire and imagination. This line is depicted throughout the novel in how Felipe is moved by consuelo although there wasn't any forceful demands. Felipe was willingly in every task; the novel mentioned that although he didn't really like the situation, he still continued working for Aura. The next line: "the gods are like men: they are born and they did on a woman's breast." Men, although seemingly powerful still falls under the control of women.. To a certain extent, one can even assume that this is saying that men are driven by their sexual desire, and they have their ends when they fall into their sexual desires.
