I think it does.
In the story her assault makes her question everything and see the world in a completely different ,less innocent way.
At first she also doesn’t know the true meaning of her name and though it meant to walk or run.
Bug as we progress in the story we reach a stage where she realises that we can’t change the past and she says
‘I want to be like the waves on the sea, like the clouds in the wind, but I’m me. One day I’ll jump out of my skin. I’ll shake the sky like a hundred violins’
Personally I feel as though the symbolism used in this quote is great. But it’s the fact that rather than hoping for this to happen, she’s stating that she will do these things.
And this may not give her and sort of help but as a reader, it gives us hope that Esperanza will be ok as her story continues past our pages.
Pls give me a brainliest if this helped thx
