Page "La Malinche" Paragraph 16

La Malinche's legacy is one of myth mixed with legend, and the opposing opinions of the Mexican people about the legendary woman.

Many see her as the founding figure of the Mexican nation.

Still many, however, continue to find the legends more memorable than the history, seeing her as a traitor, as may be assumed from a legend that she had a twin sister who went North and the pejorative nickname La Chingada associated with her twin.
