%X In this article I analyze how Mar¨Şa Luisa Bombal reflects the condition of the Hispanic woman through her social and historical textualization. In all of her literary work, there exists a constant presence of nature that comes to symbolize her feminine character intimacy and their marginal situation. In "The Tree", the author presents a dichotomic structure that polarizes the narrative into two antagonistic, hierarchic, and different forces. And, the barrier that delimits them constitutes a border that separates these two irreconcilable worlds. Mar¨Şa Luisa Bombal reveals in this short story how the patriarchal system ignores the feminine subjectivity, and how this one achieves expression in the alienated withdrawal of nature
