Also it mentions that he is the true "victim" because he has no destiny to fulfill. Santiago fulfills his destiny by being murdered, the twin brothers fulfill theirs by murdering, and Angela fulfills her by regaining her honor. Yet, why is it that he falls victim, solely because he does not have a destiny?
It is also interesting to note that on page 85: "I remember thinking that distress like theirs could only be put on in order to hide other, greater shames." I have been looking through this text to try and figure out what this shame is and trying to think about other possibilities. At one point I thought, is he gay, is he inadequate in bed, etc.
Hopefully, my next blog will be able to divulge some more details.
This has been the first time that I have ever read Chronicle of a Death Foretold. I'm still trying to come to grips that event though it is considered a chronicle, it events are definitely not in sequence. The meaning? I still have to read the rest of the book. It is intriguing that you have asked that question, because it didnt even occur to me! Something to look out for!
