Placida Linero's perspective

One perspective the story is told from is Placida Linero, Santiago's mother. She was an interpreter of dreams and had a dream but failed to warn Santiago of his impending doom. This was the last time she saw her son alive. She remembers the day as being rainy and that Santiago was hung over from the night before, but that he still intended to see the bishop. She describes her son as marry, peaceful and open hearted. He was so sensitive that he had to wear unstarched shirts because of his delicate skin. His mother is a fairly unreliable narrator. She is automatically going to be biased when discussing her own son and she is also describing events that are 27 years old. 27 years is a long time to remember too much, especially since her story about the rain directly conflicts with others stories about it being sunny on that day.
