section Summary
 
 
We live in a society where many people are seen as outcasts. The majority of our society sees themselves as superior and try to suppress those not like them. In Jose Emilio Pacheco’s “The Queen,” Adelina is seen as an outcast and is tormented by those around her. Her family and acquaintances feel that they can tease her and make her feel inferior. Even after an effort to conform to society, she is still under scrutiny and creates an imaginary relationship with a man to devote herself and to express her feelings. The author, Pacheco, also shows that he himself feels as a sort of outcast. Just as Adelina did, Stan, from Eminem’s song “Stan,” writes to his idol, Eminem, and begins treating him as if they were eternal soul mates. Both, Adelina and Stan, create a world where they are in charge of what happens and feel that they are part of society.
