Messages:
Beliefs don't solve problems : resistance to Facism links to the idea of fate not being avoidable.
Facism is bad/destructive : it creates conflict between families and communities : Facism regime of time period
War takes away childhood innocence
How innocence leads to delusion: she creates illusions to get away from the destructiveness of her reality. She becomes enraptured in her own hallucinations to escape.
Good always wins over evil : internal conflict
Fate isn't avoidable : people don't talk about it / thousands were forced to leave Spain to join resistance in France.
Power is corrupting and leads to oppression
Context relevant to the messages:
During the period of the civil war people in communities were fighting against each other
Facist regime
Internal conflict at between neighbours and families
People avoid the topic now.
Isolation and hardship
Thousands forced to flee Spain to join the resistance in France.
Franco: head of army / war hero: took military with him to overthrow the king
The church was on this side. The fascists were traditional: the family etc therefore the church sided with them
The Rebels were supplied with weapons from Russia a communist state; power to the people. The USSR.
A proxy war: like the Cold War. The nazis and communist. Franco was helped by Germany. Brother v brother, two other super powers helping and supplying the opposing. Two wider powers influencing the next.
