One of the first legends I came across said that the Llorona was to thought to be a witch. She lived in a small town where young girls had to be married by the age of sixteen. Sophia was nineteen when she met this handsome man named Luis. She gave birth to a son. A short time after her son's birth, Luis disappeared. One afternoon, Sophia heard two men joking around saying that Luis was in a small town not far from where they were with another woman. This made Sophia very angry. She then took her child to the river and walked in until her son was silent. .
Laura was a beautiful girl who lived in a humble town. When she was sixteen, she met a handsome man named Miguel. Miguel sought after Laura. She finally gave in when he asked her to marry him. Once the consummated their relationship, Miguel refused to see her anymore. She then found out that she was pregnant. She tried to hide her pregnancy as long as she could, but when her parents found out, they kicked her out of their house. Laura's son was born very undernourished. She went to Miguel when there was nowhere else to go. He refused to have anything to do with them. Laura was so sad, she walked into the river with her child until there was no life.
The last story was about Maria. She was fifteen years old who gave birth to a son. When her parents asked her who she had been with, Maria said she hadn't been with a man. Maria's parents tried to keep the baby a secret. Then one night, the father to the baby and threw him in the river. Maria woke up screaming, missing her child. She ran outside and found her father coming from the river. When she got there the baby was dead.
All of these myths have a few things in common. First, they are of a young girl who has had a son. Their lovers have either disappeared, or vanished. And, when their children were drowned. The major part of the story is that these women cried so at the death of their sons, along the river banks.
