“You’re the man, but I got the, I got the, I got the power.”

— This line mirrors how the mother, who may have initially seemed soft-spoken compared to the confident male teacher, ultimately holds the real power when it

matters most.

“Power” by Little Mix fits well as a modern, feminist anthem that mirrors the mother’s transformation into a protector and the story’s core message: true magnificence is strength used for love and justice.

This act of physical protection in both scenarios symbolizes how a mother’s love transcends all fear, whether it's a violent storm or the emotional and psychological trauma a child faces. It also highlights the unconditional nature of a mother’s love—just as the mother in the hailstorm places herself between her daughter and the danger, the mother in "Magnificence" instinctively places herself between her daughter and the threat, ensuring her child's safety at any personal cost.

It doesn't have to hurt being a child.

Children lack the full understanding or ability to protect themselves from harm, which makes them susceptible to abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Ensuring their safety fosters their physical, emotional, and psychological development, allowing them to grow in a secure environment where they can thrive.

The story "Magnificence" by Estrella Alfon is a literary exploration of the loss of innocence and trust, betrayal, and a mother's protectiveness towards her children. The story powerfully conveys the message that danger can lurk in the most unexpected places, even with people we trust. As the narrative unfolds the discomfort that the little girl felt, it reminds us how easily manipulated children can be.

The title "Magnificence" lives up to its name in depicting how firm and swift the mother acted when she discovered what Vicente was doing. This magnificence is evident in how she confronts him, wordlessly and forcefully taking control of the situation. In closing, "Magnificence" serves as a potent reminder for us to avoid blind trust and to recognize a mother's enduring love in protecting her children from harm.
