  1. Allende claims to despise militarism. How does this particular antipathy become evident in House of the Spirits?

  2. Allende equates anger and rejection. In other words, our anger reflects a rejection of a certain idea, situation, or policy. How does this notion become meaningful in HOTS?

  3. What does Allende means when she says, “If you are safe, you are dead”?

  4. Assuming (as Allende does) that “predestination is a literary device,” please comment on the role and power of a writer.

  5. Allende believes that human beings tend to ignore what / whom they cannot control. Ponder this idea in relation to the male-female relationships in HOTS.

  6. What does Allende means when she says that, “Literature does not have sex”?

  7. How is HOTS a “reflexive” text?

  8. What does Allende mean by the term universal matter?
