Long Answer
1. Ana’s mother has tried to instill in Ana a sense that she has rights within her marriage—she should expect access to money and material possessions, and she should expect = Juan to build a comfortable life for her. But, at first, Ana is too shy and insecure to assert herself with Juan. The incident at El Basement is a turning point because Ana figures out how to demand what she wants while keeping herself relatively safe from Juan’s aggression. (Various chapters)
2. Ana is young and essentially alone in a country where she speaks little of the language and does not understand how the system works. She feels that leaving Juan would be a betrayal of her family and, once she is pregnant, she worries that she could lose custody of the baby if she tries to seek help. (Various chapters)
