Isabel Allende's concept of truth is what is truer than truth is a story. She wants to share what is truer than truth about our common humanity. The protagonist of Isabel Allende’s stories are strong and passionate women. Belisa Crepusculario had a rough home life at the age of 12 she had to fight to survive from the hunger and fatigue. She found a newspaper and couldn’t read it so she paid a priest to teach her how to read. Colonel kidnaps Belisa. Belisa is used by the Colonel because he wants to win presidency in the December election so he asks Belisa to sell him a speech he could make to win voters over. Colonel does great getting the voters to like him. As time went on he obsessively kept on saying the two words that Belisa gave to him, he could not stop saying them. Mulato went to find Belisa so the Colonel could give her, her words back. Belisa put Colonel under a spell with the two words that made the Colonel fall in love with Belisa. The colonel’s puma eyes soften when he gazed at Belisa. In my opinion the two words in this story is Belisa’s name because he keeps saying the two words and then thinking about her.
