The word deflowering
has two definitions in the dictionary, but the one that describes my version
of the word best is, "to deprive of virginity."
This word originated about the 14th century. I think the poet used
this word in the poem because of the unholy act of deflowering that went
on during the spanish conquest.
The spaniards,
that were supposed to be sooo holy, would pluck the woman from their families
and rape them. Malinche was raped by
Cortes, a spanish conquistador. That is a
perfect example of deflowering.
