The grandmother, wishing to recover her loss begins to prostitute her granddaughter. The story takes on the characteristics of a bizarre fairy tale, with the evil grandmother forcing her Cinderella-like granddaughter to sell her body. They travel all over for several years, with men lining up for miles to enjoy her.
  • Meanwhile, Erendira falls in love with Ulysees. She decides she has had enough. After an aborted attempt to escape from her grandmother’s clutches with her lover, she suggests to Ulysees that he kill the grandmother. He tries to poison the grandmother with arsenic in a birthday cake, but she survives this and continues to dominate. Finally, Erendira’s lover stabs the grandmother to death. By the time he regains his composure, Erendira has fled.
