Dede decides to side with her sisters instead of her husband but she is really unsure about her decision. As time passes she begins to regret her decision, especially when she thinks she’s loosing her sons. But, in the end she ends up going back with her husband. I think that the choice she makes was hers to make and though it wasn’t an easy one she still stands by it. She’s haunted by her choice but I don’t think any less of her for it because in her place I don’t know what I would have done. “Even now, Dede hears her sister, reciting that poem she wrote in jail, her voice raspy with the cold she never got rid of that last year. And the shades of night begin to fall, and the traveler hurries home, and the campesino bids his field farewell.” (199)
