Ideological thoughts of House

"I never tell who the father is!" Blanca said with determination.

"I'm not talking about the father of the child, I'm talking about our father," said her brother.
"Papa has the right to hear it from us, before someone else tells him."

"Send a telegram to the countryside," Clara suggested sadly. She realized that when Esteban Trueba found out, Blanca's baby would become a tragedy. (212)

This to me is ideological because the three of them knew that telling Esteban Trueba that Blanca was pregnant out of wedlock that he would go nuts because it could affect his power and influence in the government. Also Trueba would worry about his reputation, especially for not having such a responsible daughter.

Although Blanca knew who the father was and Clara also figured it out, Blanca wanted to keep it a secret, especially from her father. She knew that her child was conceived out of a forbidden love, a love that was uncontrollable between Blanca and Pedro Tercero Garcia. If her father ever found out about it, she would be banned from the family, cut off from her father and be thrown into other class, the lower class, one that she was not accustomed to.

Another reason she did not want to tell of the father of her unborn child is because of the class difference between herself and Pedro Tercero. She was the patron's daughter and he was the son of the patron's foreman. She was of higher class and he was of the lowest class possible. Pedro Tercero Gracia would never be able to support Blanca in what she was accustomed to throughout her entire life and Blanca knew that her child needed that family name influence.

Each is ideological because it gives a love affair between to people of different classes, who could never be together because of this. They would have to keep their love for each other under wraps for many years so that a father of higher power could not hurt either one in anyway, although he did and ao that Blanca's child would be of a legitimate family name and Esteban Trueba would have a legitmate grandchild. not one that was of lower class and born out of marriage.
