Clotilde Armenta plays a crucial role in the development of the narrator's view of the murder.
The narrator gets her account of what happened, and readers are given what seems to be her account directly through the narrator's perspective.
Not all the accounts the narrator receives from the townspeople can be trusted. The town can not even agree on what the weather was like, how can a person trust them to correctly recount the details of what happened on the day of the murder. In addition to that, the narrator is collecting these statements months, maybe years after the event has occurred.
Even if the source is not reliable, it is seemingly the best account of the actions of the brothers.
It is Armenta who seemingly tries the best to prevent the crime from happening, getting the brothers
drunk and telling all who pass into her store to go and warn Santiago Nasar, his friends, and the authorities.
