Morton's changing of history can be forgiven, but his deconstruction of the "Medea" myth for his own political purposes (having La Malinche kill her son more as a sacrifice for her own betrayal of her people than as originally intended in the myth) is inexcusable.

 Laura Esquivel—Reconquering Malinche - 2/15/2006 - Criticas - CA6305733

 American Passages - Unit 2. Exploring Borderlands: Context Activities
According to Bernal Díaz del Castillo's account of La Malinche (whom he calls by her Spanish name, Doña Marina), she was born into a royal family but sold into slavery when her mother and stepfather decided her existence might threaten their son's position as sole heir to their throne.
In actuality, La Malinche's role was probably far less important to the fall of the Aztec Empire than Cortés's military skills, the Aztec chief Montezuma's weakness, the military contributions of rival indigenous tribes, and the spread of European diseases that decimated native populations.
In any case, La Malinche had been repeatedly sold among tribes as a slave and thus probably did not perceive any particular group as "her people." Indeed, she may have felt that she was working with Cortés to conquer groups she herself identified as enemies for holding her in slavery.
