individual or extensive attention. Dona Marina seems to fill a type of “Virgin Mary” role in the conquest. In the Catholic Bible, Mary is the only woman who has never sinned; this is why she is chosen to be the Mother of Jesus. Although Dona Marina was a native, she helped the Spaniards; she was different from those she was born among. In the eyes of the Spanish, she was helping the right side.
