![]() ![]() ![]() In this story, Carlos Fuentes, mention how the Spanish people introduced their religion and made it an extention form the Americans’ religion. Yes, I find a big relation, because Paz talks about Mexicans in general, that include culture but actual culture that comes from the past of the Mexican people. Do you find any relationship between this story and Paz’ essays?.They were like a parasite to the natives, and some natives could survive and adapt to their new way of living, but a lot of them couldn´t, dying like Filiberto. Even when Chac Mool is not trying to impose himself, he uses Filiberto to survive in a way that make him his slave, just as Spanish people did with native people, they used them not only to survive, but to be rich and build their houses and fortune. Maybe Chac Mool is doing what Spanish people did with the people. Yes, I think, this story could represents the culture. Is this story an allegory? What allegorical readings might be possible?. ![]() The indio Amarillo could be the Chac Mool in his human body because Filiberto says that it is getting more human characteristics every time. How do you interpret the description of the “indio amarillo” in the final paragraph? What does it mean?.His personality is strong, he imposes, has authority but can be nice when he wants. The Chac Mool changed during the story, at the beginning it was a statue, natural dimensions, a common rock, but also elegant, with some tomato sauce on it, but then it become a he, and maybe at the end the Chac Mool is El indio Amarillo. What is he like physically? What is his personality like? How the Chac Mool wasn´t ”complete”, he tried to fix it with artificial parts, this could mean that when Spanish people discovered America and found American people, they sow them as something “incomplete”, and they “completed” them with their own culture and parts. How can we interpret Fuentes’ re-telling of Le Plongeon’s act?.Who was the Le Plongeon referred to on pg 5?.But Chac Mool needed to eat and had the main character as his prisoner, and in internet I didn´t find anything like this. In Fuente´s story Chac Mool needs water to be alive and the principal character had a dead related with water, and Chac Mool was related to Tlaloc, so there is a coincidence. How does what you find coincide and not coincide with the descriptions given in Fuentes’ story?.What is a Chac Mool? (internet investigation)Ĭhac Mool is a kind of statue from the Mesoamerican cultures, it is related with water and Tlaloc.He could represent the Indian people in the conquer. I´m not sure about the meaning of the question, but if “class” is about social or economic, Filiberto was from a high class, or at least his parents. Who is Filiberto? What does he do? What class is he from? What might he represent?įiliberto is the man who bought the Chac Mool, he used to collect old stuff from Mexican culture, and he found a statue of the Chac Mool, he bought, he came crazy and then he died.The story is narrated first in second person and then in first person. Who narrates the story/How is the story narrated?Īt the beginning and at the end is Filiberto´s friend, then he reads Filiberto´s diary and the one who is telling his story is Filiberto. ![]()
