A Queer Mother For The Nation Irony

A Queer Mother For The Nation Irony

The irony of motherhood

Satirically, Gabriel Mistral is the best mother in the entire community despite not having her biological children. Society is often judgmental because it disregards the ability of barren women to show their motherhood capability. However, Mistral proves that a woman does not need to have biological children for her to be a mother.

The irony of the status quo

The book depicts men as courageous individuals as opposed to women. Satirically, Mistral proves the contrary and showcases her masculine personality while maintaining her motherhood instincts. Therefore, given an opportunity, a woman is better positioned to do great things and serve the community even better.

The irony of Jose Vasconcelos

During an era when men were considered the bravest compared to women, Vasconcelos firmly supported Mistral’s mission. As a minister for education, Vasconcelos worked closely with Mistral to ensure equal access to education for both genders. Ironically, Vasconcelos did not see Mistral as a woman but as an individual who thinks well than most men.

The satire of gender identity

Under normal circumstances, people assume that motherhood is based on femininity. Satirically, Mistral’s motherhood love is not based on femaleness but love. Therefore, despite having a masculine personality, Mistral is the best mother in the community because she shows immense love to those around her.

The irony of financial success

According to Mistral, financial success is secondary to a community’s happiness, and she urges the Latin Americans to love one another and then pursue other interests in life. Ironically, western capitalism celebrates financial success as the primary factor that determines happiness in society.
