The brothers, in Garcia’s novel, feel obliged to precise vengeance and buy back their family’s honour in spite of their own internal unwillingness to go through with the offence. The passing away of the man who they supposed had stolen Angela’s virginity must pay for his craziness and thus redeem the honour of their family. They cannot back out of this responsibility, for fear that they be seen as the men who have lack of brave. Prudence, Pablo’s wife, most excellent illustrates the state of mind seen here by saying “I never would have married him if he hadn’t done what a man should do”. Their public declaration of their plans leaves the villagers to blame to do something to stop them, though the code of honour that redeems a cruel act is so extensively accepted that little to nothing is done. Brutal revenge seems to be in order for robbing a young woman’s opportunity to get married and depriving her of the one way for her to go forward in the world.
It is obviously seen that just about each person is to blame in one way or another. Marquez lays censure in several ways throughout the narrative. Not only is Santiago’s death depicted very graphically, but the following autopsy and examination of the dead body is described as a murder after the murder. Terrible circumstances are the consequence of such blind acceptance. As well, as further evidence of blame, the author shifts point of vies in the last episode of the novel. Blatant irony is employed by using “we” instead of “I”. Here the person who reads can see just how crafty he is in his indictment of the city as a collective.
