IDENTITY REVERBERATION IN THE HOUSE OF SPIRITS

Summary/Abstract: Writing empowers the author with the ability to create a sense of origins and stability, thus grounding the exile. Isabel Allende’s characters, through writing, claim possession of a history, both personal and collective. Most of them write regularly, whether in notebooks or letters, proof of their quest for self-discovery and reverence for memories. Choosing writing over oblivion equates with the emergence of a deeper consciousness of one’s identity. Isabel Allende’s novel “The House of the Spirits” depicts the creative process of writing as a genuine combination of realism and imagination. Ultimately, this blend enables people to record and forge their experience. To Isabel Allende, words hold the power to recall history, be it that of a country or a family. By rescuing memory, words can be used to reshape and challenge the past.
