TOK ESSAY  Discuss how violence is depicted novel  house of the spirits by Isabelle Allende

Isabelle Allende illustrates violence as an issue that permeates his novel The House of the Spirits. Alba refers to the history of their home as an endless tale that is characterized by sorrow, love, as well as blood due to the fact that they perceive joy, love, and pleasure as being intimate complements of pain, hatred a, d sadness. The beginning of suffering and violence in The House of the Spirits is characterized by the murder of Rosa, who is regarded as a symbol for beauty and innocence that do not deserve to undergo pain and death. Death as an accident can be a common happening because a loved person can endure suffering instead of an intended victim. The fate of Rosa is a characteristic of the tendency of the novel towards the outrageous. Rosa’s body undergoes a humiliating act of nakedness in addition to the olation of disembowelment. That is followed by its molestation before the assistant of Dr. Cuevas. The violence that is depicted in that scene is so horrific to the extent of making Clara to remain mute for nine years.
