The importance of telenovelas in the story is that since Cleofilas grow up with out a female role model in her life so she learned all of what a woman is supposed to be from soap operas. This gives her un exaggerated and idealized view of both life and love, and intern believes that life has to be filled with passion, to the point of being delusional “one does whatever one can, must do, at whatever the cost.” she implies as if there is a sweetness of suffering for love. This however Is far from here reality as her husband has taken to beating her despite the fact that she emulates all that she saw in the telenovelas for being a good wife.
