I chose Marimar. Did I choose Marimar because I had already watched it before and that would this whole assignment that much easier? Not really, you see I watched Marimar in 1994 when it was originally broadcast, but aside from the theme song and some character being badly burned in the series, I don't remember much. My mother later told me that I would talk to my madrina constantly about what was going on in the telenovela. When the series was reaching its ultimos capitulos, I was glued to the television.
Of course I know the main story of Marimar, but I would know that from just watching the entrada, which like every other video worth watching is on youtube:

I watched many a telenovela growing up, but Marimar is the first one I actually remember watching, and like any true Mexicana I set time aside to watch it, even at the tender age of six.
So, I chose Marimar for my analysis this semester. Maybe I chose it for nostalgic reasons, but I'd like to think that its my undying love for Thalia, which led me back to this classic telenovela.

You chose Marimar because it already means something to you. This is the same reason why people watch telenovela after telenovela, because they know the genre and it means something to them.
