Gomez and Morticia

And the allegory continues.

In the Adams Family, Gomez who represents Vasconcelos, also represents Spain. And Morticia, who is Gomez's wife, represents France.

In the Adams Family, Gomez and Morticia have a wonderful marriage. And in many occasions Morticia will make some type of comment in French which drives Gomez into a kissing frenzy. "Querida mia, you spoke French," he would say, then he'd grab her hand and kiss the length of her arm in a romantic Castilian way. That there is the parody.

 In La Raza Cosmica, Vasconcelos was highly critical and bitter of France. He certainly had no love for France. France is the sell-out who turned the tables in the New World and allowed the English to become the dominant power. Vasconcelos wrote that if France had not sold-out to the United States, the New World would have been a Spanish and French empire. It was Napoleon Bonaparte who made it Anglo-Saxon. For details see my post "Cinco de Mayo," posted May 5, 2017, or read "The Cosmic Race - La Raza Cosmica," Didier T. Jaen, page 13.
