As the exams get closer, we bring you the summary of a great work that is surely part of our agendas
Chronicle of a death foretold is a journalistic chronicle . written by Gabriel Garseeya Markess
based on real events . it has a lot of characters and points of view
the day they were going to kill him, Santiago Nasar woke up at 5:30 in the morning
he had slept little because of the party the day before
Santiago ran his fathers hacienda, had knowledge of weapons, and was intuitive, prudent, and courageous.
Victoria Gusman, the cook, and Divina Flor, her daughter, did not warn him they were going to kill him
so after breakfast Santiago went to meet the bishop
shortly afterwards an anonymous person put a piece of paper under the door warning that he was going to be killed . but nobody saw it
at that time only Clotilde Armentas dairy was open
in it the twins Pedro and Pablo Vicario were waiting . who were resting after 3 days of partying
instinctively awaken when Santiago passed by the plaza
Clotilde asked them to wait for the bishop to leave
the bishops boat passed by
my girl Margot was with Santiago.
but after saying goodbye . she found out that the Vicario brothers wanted to kill him
because Ángela Vicario was not a virgin when she married because of him
Bah yardo San Román, the husband of Ángela Vicario, was a mysterious foreigner of 30 years . he fell in love with her and asked her to marry him
It was a massive wedding
after it ended Bah yardo San Román appeared at the house of Pura Vicario, the mother of the bride
Then he brought Angela up to the light, who was wearing her shredded nightgown
Bah yardo gave the girl back to her mother and she beat her up
when the brothers arrived . they asked who was guilty of her disgrace
she replied that Santiago Nasar
the brothers took the knives and went to the market to sharpen them
they decided to wait for him . at Clotilde Armentas dairy
the news reached the colonel, who went to the dairy
he took the knives from the brothers and left without questioning them
unsurprisingly, the brothers went in search of other knives and returned to the dairy
after the bishop, Cristo Bed oya and Santiago Nasar walked through the plaza
and since everyone except them knew they were going to kill him, they looked at him like he was a ghost
when Santiago was no longer with Cristo, they told him about the plans of the Vicar brothers
Cristo ran to look for his friend at his house but he was not there
he kept looking for him on the streets, but no one had seen him
he met the Vicario brothers, who told him they were going to kill his friend . with this threat, he ran to look for him
It turns out that Santiago had gone to his girlfriends house, Flora Miguel, who had learned of the disgrace of her fiansay
She broke up with Santiago, but he did not understand why
instead of staying home he decided to go to his moms to hide there
going out he was confused as everyone was yelling at him
When he saw the brothers from afar, he ran towards his house. minutes before, his mother had closed the door because Divina Flor had told her that Santiago was inside
for just a few seconds he didnt get to the door
the brothers caught him and began stabbing him
when they left, Santiago was able to crawl to his home . with his guts in hand
his mother couldnt believe it
afterwards a rudimentary autopsy was performed and the body was publicly exposed
the Vicario brothers confessed and went to jail for three years
they did not feel guilty as it was a matter of honor
Prudencia Cotes married Pablo, who inherited the fathers workshop
Pedro rejoined the Armed Forces
and one day his patrol disappeared
Bah yardo disappeared for 23 years
until he showed up at Angela Vicarios house . with a suitcase full of unopened letters that she had sent him every week
the investigation found no evidence that Santiago was guilty
and thats it . for the draw my life of Chronicle . of a death foretold
