When analyzing Isabel Allende's and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's lives, parallels between them become increasingly obvious, thus the rationalization for some of the similarities that are observed between their historically fictional novels The House of the Spirits and Chronicle of a Death Foretold, respectively. One of the most obvious parallels is the influence of women on both of them. Allende dedicates The House of the Spirits "to my mother, my grandmother and all the other extraordinary women of this story," showing feminine influence, and Marquez grew up in a household with his grandmother and numerous aunts, therefore he would also show the influence of women; also, both novelists are from Latin and South America, thus they both would most likely show literary elements that are characteristic of that geographic area. Because of their similar influences, the theme of 'the great mental, and sometimes physical, strength of women' is prominent in both of their works. When analyzing this theme in both novels, the two most distinct semblances are: in both novels at least one female character has the sagacity to possess some kind of preternatural ability, and women have the strength to endure a marriage without loving their suitor.
For now it could be hard to infer why Sacagawea did not seek revenge against the colonization, let alone the fact that the Expedition was quite harsh to her, a young woman carrying a baby. However, what could be soundly inferred is that without her negotiation, it might have been impossible for Lewis and Clark to understand Indian tribes and convey their thoughts. Alexie claims she is such a “magical” contradiction, and the Expedition could be successful primarily because Lewis and Clark included contradictions like Sacagawea in their team. It is not a coincidence that the Expedition including contradictions conforms to Anzaldua’s new tribalism, because the coexistence of contradiction has always been a topic of this country. Anzaldua gives examples of modern contradictions, which might throw light on why Sacagawea does not seek a revenge.
