Thus, Jane’s childhood is unloving and she is constantly bullied by her cousins, particularly John Reed. This abuse and neglect causes Jane to be someone who holds intense grudges for a long time and who does not love, nor is loved, by anyone.

In no way does she want her son to be an average man of the time period. In no way will she ever permit it----she loves him too much.

In this passage, the words “suffering” and “spared” come to play because of how one can imagine if Lourdes had never resorted to immigration for her family’s survival. Lourdes wished for the better in the income of her family, so she eventually resorted to immigration which caused the nostalgia of a missing parent for her son, Enrique.
