Revolution Like Water for Chocolate Revolutions throughout human history have established the change of traditions as a normal occurrence throughout throughout our history. Household revolutions can also occur when traditions contrary to the desires of one interfere with the values ​​of another. In the book "Like Water to Chocolate", a major revolution develops between mother and daughter, Mama Elena and Tita. Like most revolutions, traditions are the major factor in the revolution that occurs between the two; Tradition dictates that the youngest daughter should not marry, but should take care of her mother until she dies. However, when a young man decides to ask for Tita's hand, mother Elena categorically refuses to hear any more about it. She tells Tita on page 10: "If he's planning to ask for your hand, tell him not to worry about it...". Tita then realizes the hopelessness of her situation and from that moment she swears “to protest against her mother’s decision” (11). The revolution continues to grow until, after many years of torment at the hands of her mother, Tita leaves the family ranch. Then, after a while, when Mama Elena becomes paralyzed by bandits, Tita feels compelled to return to the ranch and take care of her mother. Upon returning, Tita felt that her return humiliated her mother because of the cruelty with which she had treated her daughter in the past (130). When Tita had prepared dinner for her mother, Mama Elena brutally rejected her kindness. Tita did not understand why her mother treated her with cruelty, "she did not understand Mom Elena's attitude... It was beyond her understanding that a person, regardless of their relationship with another, could reject a kind gesture of 'such a brutal way...'. (130-131). After everything they had been through, Tita thought at least some things had changed. Of course, nothing had changed because Mama Elena saw her daughter as she saw herself many years before. But after her mother's death, Tita was enlightened when she discovered her mother's love letters from José, her mother's one true love (137). By reading her mother's letters, she discovered the reason for her mother's personality, both psychologically and emotionally. "José was the love of her life. She was not allowed to marry him because he had black blood in his veins. .
