Breaking the Tortilla Curtain In T.C Boyle's tale The Tortilla Curtain, the creator offers a contorted focal point to feature the contrasts between two couples from independent societies united through a progression of grievous occasions. Candido and America Rincon are unlawful migrants from Tepoztlan, Mexico, and come into contact with Delaney and Kyra Mossbacher, an upper-working class couple from Southern California. Social and physical limits assume an enormous job in this novel as Boyle discloses the conflicts between a common white American family and their lower-class Mexican neighbors. In this manner, through incongruity and noticeable and undetectable limits, Boyle makes jokes about the American dream and, in doing as such, uncovers these characters genuine personality. Boyle makes obvious limits in the novel by in his depiction of Arryoo Blanco, the striking network where the Mossbachers live.
