Chronicle Of A Death Foretold (50- 120)

Summary
From what I read people believe that Nasar already knew that they were going to go after him and felt as if he could handle the twins. And others did not think that the twins were actually serious. Everyone in that town was a bystander for letting that happen because they all knew it was wrong and all barely tried to help stop and end this. In this other half of the book, it talks about Nasar past lovers like Maria Alejandra and Flora. To me this is sort of ironic because it makes it seems like he had a lot of lovers and as to why is was so bad that he took the twins' sister virginity. However, throughout the whole town and their opinions it seemed as if they had positive views on him and believed he was a good guy. And as for the twins who killed Nasar, people did not take them seriously because they believed that the were drunk. The people pf the town seem to have been affected greatly by Nasar's death even though they did not try top stop it.

Quote: "He even took care to brush off the dirt that was stuck to his guts" (Marquez120)
In this quote on the last page of the book, to me it shows just much pride Nasar had because instead of panicking about his death he was calm and said his last words. Its as if his death was so much drama and problems for others than it was to him .
