Answer:

she was ashamed of her Mexican heritage

Step-by-step explanation:

Despite her name meaning Hope in English, she interprets her name differently in Spanish because she is ashamed of her Mexican heritage. Her great grandma was also named Esperanza, someone who is very submissive to her husband, something she doesn't want to be.
