 Moreover, Martha appears (unrealistically) blind to the affair between Fabiana and Daniel because she assumes that Daniel would never "sink so low" as to have an affair with hired help, or at least not an affair that would mean anything.Throughout the novela, Martha repeatedly tries to instill class-based discrimination in the education of her children.At one point she, apparently without irony, alludes to George Orwell's Animal Farm by saying to her daughter, "All people are equal, but some people are more equal than others."
