    Once she had stated that Santiago is the one who took her virginity, both of their fates became pinned. If Angela did not give her brothers a name, they would have become furious at her for protecting the man who had dishonored her. She “pins” Santiago with her words, but she is also pinning herself by the sexism of the culture. The description of Angela’s thought process when she spoke Santiago’s name suggests that Angela is not only thinking of people who are alive but also those who are dead (“many easily confused names from this world and the other.”) This is not a proven fact, but this strongly implies that Angela chose his name at random, which would mean Angela Vicario sanctioned the murder of an innocent…

    Vicario Brothers Quotes

    When Pura Vicario discovers that her daughter had been deflowered by another man before her new husband, Bayardo San Roman, Pura nearly beats Angela to near death (Marquez 46). This rage is due to Angela’s tarnishing of the Vicario family’s honor and in order to restore the family’s honor, Angela names “Santiago Nasar” as the man who took her virginity (47). This allows for the brothers to enact retribution on the man who has ruined the family’s reputation. Another member of the family, Prudencia Cotes’s mother influences the boys to carry out their mission, despite their hesitancy. The mother tells the brothers that “honor doesn’t wait”, and that she can imagine the hurry that they are in to find Santiago. This back and forth signifies the mother’s knowledge of the incident that had transpired and fully supported the actions of the Vicarios. Prudencia Cotes told the narrator that she “never would have married [Pablo] if he hadn’t done what a man should do”, stating that he had to defend his families honor in order to prove his worth as a…

    The bus driver for the town of Sam Dent, Dolores Driscoll, seems very nice and caring, but there are definitely many examples throughout the first chapter that show her to be quite goofy. First of all, a lot of the things she says and the phrases that she uses are very out there and do not seem to make a whole lot of sense. In the second paragraph on page eleven Dolores says, “Doreen was a Pomeroy from Lake Placid, a sweet little ding-a-ling of a girl”. On page 31 paragraph two Dolores also says, “...and it scared the bejesus out of me, although I could not for the life of me tell you why”. These two sentences make her seem a little loony because the things she says are so unique, and even I rarely ever her people use those phrases. This is just one example of how the author portrays Dolores to be just a bit nutty.…

    Santiago's Husband Quotes

    • 4 Pages

    The decorations on the wall represent the faith and patience of Santiago. After putting away the equipment in his abode, he notices the pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Virgin of Cobre. As they are relics of his wife, whom from presumably death he was long separated, he, clearly, keeps them on display as a mark of his steadfast faith in the divine and the sea. Hemingway claims, “On the brown walls of the flattened, overlapping leaves of the sturdy fibered guano there was a picture in color of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and another of the Virgin of Cobre” (Hemingway 15-16). Without a doubt, Santiago keeps them on his wall as a symbol of faith—a virtue of patience with the sea and the divine, and the belief that his misfortune in fishing will eventually be eradicated. Full of determination, he finds himself, after a stark eighty-four days of futile fishing, in the potpourri of the belief that he will be fruitful in his efforts once again.…

    Women were expected to be virgins when they got married. Virginity was considered very sacred because it was supposed to be saved for the man you truly love (your husband). “On the other hand, the fact that Angela Vicario dared put on the veil and the orange blossoms without being a virgin would be interpreted afterwards as a profanation of the symbols of purity” (Marquez 41). Angela represents that being a virgin was very disgraceful; hence the fact that she was returned to her parents after her husband found out that she was deflowered. Divorce was also looked down upon because the woman and man should have taken the time to know each other well before they got…
