First, we'll explore how the novel is framed--from the epigraph, to the seasonal/chronological organization, to the use of recipes, and chapters, Esquivel provides more than one frame for her story. Additionally, I want to explore the novel as an example of a romance, using Pamela Regis' eight essential elements of romance novels.
Consider the setting of the story: during the Mexican revolution. How does Esquivel use this setting to express other themes in the novel? What other revolutions do we see?
Finally, we need to explore how the novel uses magic realism.
