%X The colonial body was structured by the attitudes and behaviors modeled in stories of exemplary
individuals promoted by the regimes of order of the Catholic Church. Furthermore,
images of hell, punishment, and especially of the Devil allowed the Church to shape and
project fears based on religious concepts into the social context. The indigenous, black
slaves, and mestizos were demonized with the purpose of maintaining the social hierarchy
by protecting and sheltering women of the elite class from unequal unions. The protection
of these women was achieved by isolating them in convents, where women were allowed
to write about their experiences. Through these texts it is possible to shed light on the
role that the image of the devil played in the minds of the nuns and to analyze their appropriation,
interpretation and re-presentation based on the social fears of their context.
