![]() Among his works are The Death of Artemio Cruz (1962), Aura (1962), Terra Nostra (1975), The Old Gringo (1985) and Christopher Unborn (1987). I think they are related to what it means to be Mexican, to know our past and to be exalted by that, to understand what happened and not feel ashamed of it.Carlos Fuentes Macías ( / ˈ f w ɛ n t eɪ s/ Spanish: ( listen) Novem– May 15, 2012) was a Mexican novelist and essayist. Do you find any relationship between this story and Paz’ essays?.Of course the story is an allegory, I think it is referring to the time of the conquest only that now is inverted, since it is Chac Mool that conquers Filiberto to do his will. Is this story an allegory? What allegorical readings might be possible?. ![]() I think that the yellow Indian is an humanized Chac Mool that murdered Filiberto to be able to live and that with everything he put on he wanted to adapt to the modern era. How do you interpret the description of the “Indio Amarillo” in the final paragraph? What does it mean?.In character, Chac Mool is selfish, very demanding and aggressive when things do not like him or what he asks for is not taken care of. Afterwards he appears straight, with a smile and eyes very close to the triangular nose. Next, describe that the color change It was no longer Stone, it was yellow now, almost golden. When the rains pass at Filiberto’s house and he is removing the lama, he realizes that it has something like flesh texture and feels the rubber arms and has hair on them. What is he like physically? What is his personality like? Probably Fuentes was referring to the fact that Chac Mool is no longer a symbol of an existing deity and now it is only decoration por the people, since it was extracted from his sacred place and he no longer takes the recognition he should because we are in a different era. What does the line “Él sabe de la inminencia del hecho estético” mean?.I interpret it as an injustice towards Mexican indigenous peoples because literally Le Plongeons stole Chac Mool from his sacred place and wanted to make it his own, and Chac Mool now he is looking for revenge for that with the poor Filiberto. How can we interpret Fuentes’ re-telling of Le Plongeon’s act?.He is referring to the British archaeologist who discovered Chac Mool in Yucatan. Who was the Le Plongeon referred to on pg 5?.But it coincides with the sacrifices (See question 9) <- Hypertext, I guess. The physical description of Chac Mool and in the text is related to rain and thunder, which is different from what I found as well as their descent, since in the text it is related to the Aztecs (the seller), but it is really a sculpture Maya. How does what you find coincide and not coincide with the descriptions given in Fuentes’ story?.Two different functions are attributed to him, but both in the religious theme: The first is as a sacrificial stone and the other as an altar. What is a Chac Mool? (internet investigation)Ĭhac Mool is a Mesoamerican sculpture that is attributed to the Toltecs found in Yucatan, but its name should not be confused with that of Chac, which is the Mayan god of rain.It could be said that he is a middle class worker who is not happy with the life I guess, he wnats better things. Who is Filiberto? What does he do? What class is he from? What might he represent?įiliberto is the main character of the story, works in the Secretaria and likes to collect Mexican indigenous art statuettes, is the person who buys Chac Mool and writes the diary.However, it is not known exactly which friend is reading it because it is not specified in the text (But I still think it is Pepe). The story is narrated by a friend of Filiberto (I think it is Pepe) who is reading his diary and becomes an omnipresent narrator who tells the story in the past. Who narrates the story/How is the story narrated?.
