Complete 8 page APA formatted essay: Utopian dreams in Macabea.

Utopian dreams refers to a state a mind where people live in their imaginations and fantasies and fail to see the reality of things. In the story “the hour glass” the main character Macabea, lives in a state of utopia and oblivion. Macabea is poor, underfed, unattractive and sickly. Unlike the narrator who is sure of himself and has so much to tell until he doesn’t know where to start, Macabea is timid and seems to have resigned to fate. What is surprising is that she doesn’t seem to see how sad her life is and lives as if everything was or is normal. For example, she takes great pleasure in little things such as listening to the radio and going to the movies, painting her nails bright red before going to bed and sipping cold coffee before going to bed, drinking coca cola and imagining herself being Monica Monroe (Clarice&nbsp.23). She escapes her poor state by using fantasies and imagining to be a rich affluent woman. The stuff she takes pleasure doing are exactly the same that influential affluent ladies in the society do. However, in her case, this is just a dream that she can never afford and therefore, all she can do is live in her imagination. Macabea like a normal teenager gets a boyfriend named Olimpico, who is a thug and criminal and has other girlfriends. He leaves her for her best work colleague called Gloria. Gloria feels bad for Macabea and introduces her to a fortune teller, Madam Carlota. Carlota reads her life and told her that she had gone through a horrible life.
