Dona Marina, also known as La Malinche, helped Hernán Cortés primarily due to her unique position as a translator and intermediary between the Spanish and the indigenous peoples of Mexico. Having been sold into slavery and experienced betrayal by her own people, she sought to align herself with Cortés, viewing him as a means to gain power and security. Her linguistic skills and cultural knowledge were crucial in facilitating communication and negotiations, ultimately aiding Cortés in his conquest of the Aztec Empire. Additionally, her motivations may have included a desire for agency in a tumultuous political landscape.
