Chronicle of a death foretold perspective
In pages 8-15 we see the narrative of Victoria Guzman and Divina Flor were the cook and her daughter working for Santiago Nasar. They both knew that the murder would take place before he had his morning coffee but had decided not to tell him because she didn’t believe the twins would actually do it. I believe this source is not reliable because years after his death they both realized that they felt rage towards this man for mistreating them. They knew the murder would take place and the motives but Victoria did not tell him because she wanted him to die because he had attempted to tame her daughter. Divina Flor on the other hand knew as well but she did not tell him either because she was too young and confused to make any decisions and he would molest her. In this case they both felt anger towards this man and would have done anything to place him in this situation so the source is not reliable. Memory in the book is questions and we learn that it is not a reliable source since the incident had happen over twenty years before it was investigated. The murder is not supported by truth it is the narrator who has to keep searching interviewing other people in order to form his “chronicle” of the death of Santiago Nasar.
