many people see this story as a piece of mind from the point of view of a woman who some call "paris hilton of the 1930s". we must never forget, "machismo" is something Mr. Exupery had, although, as many other french men didn't like to show it at every moment. like any other relationship, everything starts smooth, with a loving couple deeply into one another, but as always is the fame and richness that get through his eyes and , of course trhough the eyes of the women after him; specially E., who is the woman who destroys the relationship. Something many don't understand is the humble origin of Consuelo. I would love to hear or read from someone else if they have EVER visited this small, tormented, yet beautiful country, where her volcanoes and forests are standing against the waves of time. Believe it or not, her origins are everything but fancy and reproachible, like many people of other origins such america, and most wuropenas of the era. It would be wrong for anyne to give her credit for everything, sonce one may argue that she was weak, like the time she fainted at the theater. Something we can never blame her for, is not loving our pilot, because that was the only thing she did until the day she died, even when he tretaed her like a disposible plate. she was taken from her homeland, her tropical sun, dense forests and fertile soil, to a cold, deserted and hateful country: France, where even there, she was able to find some types of love among the people. Mayb the country was not all that in full, but the one she called husband might as well caused the sadness in Consuelo's heart.We should all respect her since without her, Antoine would've been incompleted. Anyone who is willing to do what she did for her partner under the same conditions, raise your hand, and see if you can make it.
