Like Water for Chocolate What metaphors are used in Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 04:19 Last updated by Jill W on 27 Apr 13:24
Esquivel's use of the supernatural is an important element in the novel. Tita's magical dishes, which produce waves of longing and uncontrollable desire, become a metaphor for creativity and self-expression.
