What is the nature of Celia's devotion to the revolution?

Celia is an active member of the revolution of El Lider and works tirelessly to help it achieve its greatness. Her other daughter, Lourdes, however, is vehemently against the Revolution and is at odds with Celia. Celia can communicate with Lourdes' daughter, Pilar through telepathy and knows that with Pilar's return to Cuba, Celia's story will continue through Pilar. It is with this knowledge that Celia puts on Felicia's old bathing suit and swims out in the sea, presumably to die.
