Aura

In Aura, the idea of relating what Consuelo was doing to a communion and later on the rebirth or resurrection of Jesus Christ was far beyond anything I could have grasped or related to my first time going through the story. All the things that are part of a regular communion in a church were there in the story of Aura: the bread and the wine, which when ingested in a regular communion symbolized the person taking in Christ and accepting him. The same thing was done in Aura, only far less holy things were happening. The topic of the rebirth of Christ also takes center-stage when essentially Consuelo becomes reborn as Aura, in a strange twist of events and witchcraft, just like Christ was three days after he was crucified on the cross. This juxtaposition between Consuelo and Christ was something I could not perceive or imagine before it was brought to light during lecture, and was something that I definitely found interesting.
