La hija menor, Tita, está condenada a cuidar a su madre hasta que esta muera, olvidándose así de conocer lo que es el amor y el matrimonio. Su novio, Pedro , no contento con tener que resignarse a estar sin su querida, se casa con la hermana de esta para así poder vivir junto a ella, y verla siempre, sin pensar que su madre, Mamá Elena no lo permitirá. A parte de este gran problema surgirán otros, así como también historias divertidas y buenos ratos. En Como agua para chocolate las relaciones son complejas y desarrolladas bajo signos opuestos, en ocasiones irreconciliables. Aparece una fuerte rivalidad entre hermanas, el choque fraternal queda signado en la relación entre Rosaura y Tita, metaforizada en el contacto «del agua en aceite hirviendo». Desde niñas muestran naturalezas diferentes: Tita hace de la cocina su universo propio, su lugar de juegos y su modo de vida, mientras que Rosaura no tiene sazón, es torpe para cocinar y melindrosa para comer. Pero será en su juventud cuando estas diferencias se acentúen y culminen con la traición de Rosaura al casarse con el novio de su hermana. De ahí nació la aversión de Nacha para con Rosaura y la rivalidad entre las dos hermanas, que culmina con esa boda en la que Rosaura se casa con el hombre que Tita ama. [via]
