Sor Juana

Watching the movie in class really got me thinking about life as a nun. I used to think that they were all happy living a solitary life in the convent but now that doesn't seem to be the case.  Sor Juana wanted more than just religion but was not allowed due to the views of the Catholic Church. Most of her books were censored and not everyone was allowed to have books.  The nuns were also treated very differently and I did not think this was the case in the convents.  The head man didn't even want to sit at the same table with a woman and had all their personal items removed from their possession. Although the movie was a little hard to follow with the subtitles and everything, it did change my perspective.
