![]() “García Márquez declared, on more than one occasion, that reading The Metamorphosis marked a before and after in his literary career for him. I mention this in first place because Gabriel García Márquez, creator of the famous Colombian novel “100 years of solitude” of which Disney used some aspects to create Encanto, was an admirer of Kafka’s works to the point of being an inspiration at the time of starting his career as a writer. If Encanto had not been from Disney or for a children’s audience, it is most likely that Bruno would have ended up the same as Gregor.ĭead, alone, believing that his family hates him and that he is a monster who only ruined their peace, happiness and chances to progress by being a burden to them. Grete could also represent Isabela, since in her the family sees the opportunity to get her a good husband to forget the tragedy and shame caused (without wanting it) by the black sheep.ĭespite having been treated so badly, the two of them still love their respective families and would do anything for them, their love being so great to the point of being unhealthy since both neglected their health and life so that others can live at peace without his presence. His relatives were also saddened by the predicament of their relative, but even so they did not mention his name.īruno and Gregor were rejected and isolated by society for reasons they couldn’t control (seeing bad futures and transforming into an insect) while they had an authority figure who had high expectations which went down the drain when their respective calamities happened, for example Alma would be a combination of Gregor’s parents, since the mother loves him and the father is strict and only watches over the economic/social aspect of the family and not the sentimental aspect. While in The Metamorphosis, the protagonist Gregor Samsa was the pillar and economic source of his family until he suddenly woke up turned into an insect without any explanation, scaring his boss and forced by his father to remain locked in his room, which later It became a kind of warehouse where they put everything that was left over. However, over the years, Bruno’s fateful predictions made the town and later his own family consider him as someone to avoid, even Bruno himself walked away ending up (by his own decision and because he believed it was the best thing for everyone) being locked in a small room with things that were left over in the house and nobody in the family seemed to notice that they were gone for good, accompanied only by rats while he saw and heard how his family forbid even the mention of his name. And she was strong, she believed she was strong, she kept telling herself she was strong, and so she endured.It is known that when he was younger, Bruno was the star of the family for his gift of seeing the future and people sought him out many times for him to use his gift (something confirmed by the director on his twitter). She was older than Mirabel and she was stressed and so busy but more than anything, she loves her little sister and her family. I get that Isabela ended up clinging to her Abuela because she felt like she was the only adult she could go to.Īnd Luisa… oh boy. Isabela had Abuela, who cared for her most when her parents couldn’t because they were busy with their duties/chores and have to make sure Mirabel was okay. ![]() They helped out with the town more with their gifts because Mirabel couldn’t.Īnd they bottled up their emotions for years because they probably felt they couldn’t run to their parents because they thought Mirabel probably needed their attention and support more. They aimed to please Abuela more because Mirabel didn’t get one. Their baby sister, Mirabel, didn’t get a gift like them, and it’s awful, yes, but also they must’ve felt like they had to make up for what Mirabel lacked. ![]() I totally get Isabela and Luisa having to keep up a façade of like perfection/strength being older sisters but not only that, it’s because they felt they HAD to. ![]()
