Quote #4
Angela Vicario never forgot the horror of the night on which her parents and her older sisters with their husbands, gathered together in the parlor, imposed on her the obligation to marry a man whom she had barely seen. (2.19)
Angela's family obviously thinks that money is more important than love.
Quote #5
Angela Vicario only dared hint at the inconvenience of a lack of love, but her mother demolished it with a single phrase: "Love can be learned too." (2.19)
Do you agree with Angela's mom? Can love be learned? How do you feel about this phrase in light of what we learn about Angela later?
Quote #6
Santiago Nasar lost his senses the first time he saw her. I warned him: "'A falcon who chases a warlike crane can only hope for a life of pain. But he didn't listen to me, dazzled by Maria Alejandrina Cervantes's illusory calls. She was his mad passion, his mistress of tears at the age of fifteen, until Ibrahim Nasar drove him out of the bed with a whip and shut him up for more than a year on The Divine Face. (3.47)
Maria seems to be the only living woman in this novel that is actually loved by anyone. Why can't Santiago be in a relationship with her? Do you think there is a reason why he falls in love with her and no one else?
