Pedro Páramo Section 39 Summary

  • Pedro has a flashback to the day that his father was killed and his mom woke him up crying. But this time it's someone else who's died: Miguel.
  • Pedro is ready for vengeance, but he finds out that no one killed his son, that he killed himself on a crazy jump. He says that he's starting to "pay"—maybe for his sins?
  • He orders the horse to be put out of its misery, and for the crying mourner women to shut up.
