When he finally sees Estrella for who she is it isn’t just a shock for her but for her grandfather too (106 Hoffman). This little conversation that Jose and Estrella share show her that her grandfather wasn’t just a man who valued men, boys, and his daughter but he was also a man who believed that everyone was smart once they could prove it. The biggest shock of character change would be when Catalina becomes so thick-headed that she ends up turning in Estrella’s family for being Jews (120-121 Hoffman). This, as I said before, is the main conflict in the story. Although it doesn’t happen until more towards the end it affects the final outcome of the book. The book was very sad being the people she loved and cared for ended up dying because of Catalina’s new found hatred for Estrella. The theme that people aren’t always what they seem is a very important one in the book Incantation by Alice Hoffman. It affects the way Estrella acts as well as how she feels towards the ones she loves and how she would soon have to mourn over them as she runs with the only people she has left; Andres and her
