Colonel and El Mulato except for Belisa.The setting is important in this story cause the story is set in Spain back in the time when women had no rights and were only used to cook and clean. But Belisa contradicts society by putting a curse on El Mulato a mighty all-powerful man who everyone is scared of except Belisa. When Belisa curses El Mulato the once all mighty man El Mulato is in the hands of a woman who defeated him.When reading this short story I think that we are suppose to feel surprised after reading the story from Belisas accomplishments because Belisa went from being unpopular and poor to being the most widely known and the most powerful at the end of the story. The message in this story is aimed to the reader and it says that anyone can do anything they want if they put there mind to it, and if u have the determination you can accomplish a lot no matter what you are dealt with in life. Another message in the story is that no matter how strong or powerful one is there will always be someone bigger and better.When I first read this story I found it difficult and to fully understand the story I had to read it 3 times. I found the story to not be easy reading. It was difficult to follow along. And the story didnt interest me so I found it difficult to get into the story. I found the story to be very thought provoking I had to stop at the bottom of each page and go over what had happened so I fully understood it. There seemed to be a lot of holes in the story where the reader has to make up whats happening or going to happen. I also dont like how at the end of the story it leaves you hanging and there is no real ending which I find annoying cause now that I read it and understand it I want to know how its going to end....
