SummaryThe adage “history repeats itself,” like many adages, sometimes seem disingenuous; they are neatly packaged concepts that lack any definitive details that would give one a context to consider them properly. In Corregidora, there is an expansion of this idea of history and repetition. Gayl Jones uses a variety of catalysts to examine how the past manifests and affects characters in the present. These catalysts – the historical, biological, and reproductive contexts – tend to focus on the unwanted and uncalculated consequences of internalization.

Table of Contents- Early in the story Ursa discovers the nature of internalization of the past.
- That is not to say that she is not justified in wanting to have a record of Corregidora's tyranny.
- Further in the text Ursa has dreams that hybridize the Corregidora stories and events in her life.
- The historical phantoms emerge first with Mutt, and their sexual encounters.
- I had originally thought it a falsehood to draw relationships between rape/torture/slavery and Ursa's so-called consensual encounters.
- The repetition of the historical phantoms in Corregidora shows the traumatic effects of forced internalization.
