Aura

        In Aura, I found it interesting how magical realism was portrayed here. At the very end, the main character, Felipe realizes that her is the General, but does not go about screaming and shouting with terror rather he wonders about it in a calm manner. Montero realizes a strange connection between the old widow and Aura- often, whenever Consuelo is speaking, Aura's lips will move as well, and motions that Consuelo makes are also made by Aura at the same time. These fantasies eventually begin to grow stronger, and often take over many of Montero's thoughts. And at the end, Aura is transformed into Consuelo, which indicates her rebirth; this is when Montero’s fantasies become real.
