Some of the names of Bernarda's daughters are: Angustias, Martirio and Magdalena. Knowing what those words mean, why do you think the author named them that? Remember to elaborate and justify your answer.

Answer:

i think that their names help to contribute to the theme of tragedy/death. Angustias means anguish, Marttirio means martyrdom which is a synonym for suffering, and Magdalena is from the story of Mary magdalene weeping at the feet of jesus. All of those meanings don't seem like they would create a happy environment at all.
