Silko's "The Yellow Woman"

"Yellow Woman" can probably be interpreted in different way, but I believe that the adventure that the narrator lives is very much reality and not a fantasy. She met a man who provoked such a desire within her that she followed him into the night and remained with him for three days. At several occasions she thinks about her family, husband and child that she left behind and wonders if the they are worried about her. This shows us a certain level of guilt for cheating on her husband, a guilt that she attempts to rationalize through the story of the Yellow Woman. Becoming "Yellow Woman", kidnapped by the spirit of the mountains provides her with a sort of escape from reality, and an excuse for her irresponsible behavior. We can see that she truly lived the story, and that she is well aware that she is not really Yellow Woman , because when she goes home, she tells her husband she was kidknapped by a navajo. If she had truly believed that she was Yellow Woman, she would have most probably told her family so, and they would have believed her.
The narrator also mentions her grandfather at several occasions, and says how she wishes he were still alive. This shows a certain desire to be nurtured and taken care of, something that she found in Silo. This nurturing care was not given to her in her home. This is obvious when she comes home after several days and nothing seems to have disturbed the peace of the household. Everyone is in the process of making Jell-O and are not even worried about the narrator's whereabouts.
