Rosa is not crazy, I would call it her just being human. I believe that Rosa destroyed her shop because it caused her pain in some sense. It didn’t bring her peace. It brung her a mixture of emotions, to know people didn’t cherish the history of things but just the display it brung . She wanted to make a difference get people to open their hearts but instead she felt like she lived in a world with no own facing the truth. As if everyone is living a lie.
Rosa lived her life as if her past was her on going presence . She need some type of release from the horrible life she once lived but instead she never puts it behind her . It seem like she despise people who choose to act like it never happened . Her niece is someone in particular. But I also believe her hatred towards has more to do with than her just putting everything behind her. I think Rose blames Stella for the death of her child, because of her selfishness. At the same time Stella is all she has and I honestly feel they should be sticking together rather than falling apart. Rosa just need someone to care for . Her daughter was the only comfort she had left and it got taken away from her so she plays the world for it. Rosa imagination is very wide . I was amazed at how she imagined a whole life for her daughter out of no where. But at the same time she could have been imagining the life she wanted for herself as her daughters.
