I think that Mama Elena’s spirit was trying to warn Tita of the bad things that she was doing, but Tita wasn’t interested in hearing what she had to say. If Gertrudis wasn’t there, I don’t think Pedro would’ve ever found out that Tita was expecting his child.
She is devoted to Pedro even after becoming married to John. At her mother’s funeral, she has thoughts of wanting to accept John as her true love. Upon seeing Pedro with Rosaura, she becomes unsure of her feelings. This displays her devotion to Pedro even when she wanted to love John who was always supportive and at her

Mama Elena often displays the societal expectations and pressures on the characters. Tita becomes a main opposition to Mama Elena, constantly attempting to disobey her rules set in place in order to be with Pedro. Very early in the novel, Tita is refused the right to marry Pedro due to the fact that she exists in the family only to serve the members when they age because Tita is the youngest child. Due to this, Mama Elena imposes multiple restrictions onto Tita such as cooking, being forbidden to marry, having to serve Mama Elena in her old age along with Rosaline, and other rules. Even once Mama Elena passes, her spirit looms over Tita, constantly forcing guilt and dread onto her.

Time and time again, Tita expresses her fatigue and distaste for these arduous chores. At first glance, it may seem as though Mama Elena is a merciless tyrant who only lives to torture Tita. However, Mama Elena assigns these tasks to Tita without any malicious intent, believing that these tasks are meant for the youngest daughter to fulfill, as she is a faithful adherent to family tradition. She expresses her appreciation for Tita in her own unique way, as she is not very fond of or accustomed to expressing her emotions openly. Her frank attitude, coupled with her lack of sympathy makes it so that her actions are misinterpreted by the reader as well as other characters.
