  8. Was it right of Rosa Vargas to have had so many children? To have so much responsibility, responsibility that one can't even take care of, to not be bothered (at least in the book) by the death of one of her own children? The bond between parent and child is said to be one of the strongest in the world - is Rosa Vargas wrong in having too many offspring?
