Windows- The Final Idea

  What are windows? Sure, they're simply a pane of glass but Sandra Cisneros explains them to be much more figurative.  Group Windows has explained the imagery that came with windows in our previous posts. They have been depicted to be barriers and the way women in the text have tasted a bitter sweet freedom. The list goes on. Despite the elegance in Cisneros' writing, in The House On Mango Street, the last thing Esperanza wants to be next to is a window. In the book, Esperanza never wants to become like her great grandmother, being trapped at the side of a window. Once finishing the book, Group Windows learned that she wont be like her. Esperanza escaped her fate, and jumped from the confinement of the window that trapped almost every woman on Mango Street.
