Question 2

Throughout the whole book Like Water for Chocolate,  why do you think no one except Tita stood up against Madre Elena?

I believe barely anyone stood up against Madre Elena because of her known ways to solve problems. Whenever Tita disobeyed her mother, her mother would solve this problem through cruelty, disbedience, and violence. It was also a part of the Mexican culture for the youngest or only daughter to take care of her mother until the mother or the daughter dies.
