* FemaleMisogynist: It is Carmen, Ana's mother, who tries to force Ana into what she sees as a woman's role: a life of marriage, children, and [[TextileWorkIsFeminine work in Estella's dress shop]]. The men in her life (her father, her male teacher, her boyfriend, and - to the extent they say anything at all - her brothers) are much more supportive.

* AbusiveParents: Carmen does love her daughters, and much of her beliefs stem from her poor, uncultured upbring, but this doesn't change the fact that she doesn't respect them, she keeps shifting between the {{Manipulative Bastard}} and the {{The Bully}}, and when they stand up for themselves, she sees it as an insult against her. Not to mention how she underestimates Estella's authority on the job, while berating Ana for being overweight, over and over.
