Eva Luna Thesis statement: Eva Luna by Isabel Allende is an example of a novel that depicts a great variety of women characters that come together in their struggle to survive in a politically torn and male-dominated country. Good! Eva Luna was my introduction into the world of Isabel Allende’s novels and I have to admit that in the beginning I had to struggle with the stereotype of “romantic pulp novels” to get myself through the first twenty-five – thirty pages (Wilson). I think that a reader, in this case me, starts to appreciate a novel as soon as he or she finds something in this work that speaks only to her. For me, such a segment of the novel was the variety of characters of women depicted by Allende throughout the story. The personal and social struggle of these women was of great interest to me particularly because of a time frame in which the story took place - the first half of the twentieth century. It was not only a period of active introduction of such political ideas as world social revolution and communism in Russia, and Nazism eva, la, senora, life, novel, eva’s, world, woman, way, senora’s, mimi, luna, women, stories, first, country, think, struggle, melesio, lives, characters, character, allende, through, place, one, mimi’s, great, time, story, society, social, political, need
