Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Although the histories of Pocahontas and La Malinche are very similar, their reputations are not. This essay will explain why.
Few historical figures in Mexico are as reviled as Malinche. His name inspired the term "malinchismo," which the RAE defines as "the attitude of those who show attachment to foreigners while disdaining their own." Pocahontas, who was born in Virginia, USA, more than 90 years after La Malinche (c. 1502), gets a heroin deal. This perception was fueled by the Disney animated film, which depicts a romanticized version of the princess's life that historians say is far from reality.
Similarities :
The father of Malintzin or Malinalli was a powerful cacique from Painala, Coatzacoalcos. Matoaka, also known as Pocahontas, was the eldest daughter of the Powhatan chief who settled in what is now Virginia. Both were present when the conquerors arrived on the continent. La Malinche worked as an interpreter for the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, witnessing the meeting of two worlds from the front row. Pocahontas lived during the arrival of the British explorer John Smith, along with over a hundred men, to colonize Virginia.Some historians believe that when John Smith was about to be executed by the Powhatan tribe, Pocahontas threw herself on him to protect him and save him from death. Pocahontas served as a liaison to mediate and reach agreements between her home tribe and the English; later, as the wife of Englishman John Rolfe, she assisted in the maintenance of commercial relations between Jamestown, England, and Powhatan.When La Malinche's father died, her mother married another cacique, and they had another son who was named the cacicazgo's heir. La Malinche was transported to Tabasco and sold into slavery. A Chontal cacique bought her there. La Malinche was given to Cortés at the age of 15 not only to be his servant but also to satisfy his carnal desires and those of his lieutenants. Cortés had La Malinche baptized with the name Marina in order to use her legally. Pocahontas, on the other hand, was converted to Christianity and given the name Rebecca after her release. She married the Englishman John Rolfe in 1614.
