The Chronicle of a Death Foretold( pg 1-45)

Summary
Before Santiago Nasar died, he dreamed about trees. Though his mother was a dream interpreter, she could not see his death coming. He tought that day was beautiful. He was all dressed up. People who described him, did so similar to his father. He was a very cautioous man especially when it came to the use of his gun. His mother thought that his dreams would bring him health but paid no attention to the trees which met the opposite. He had inherited many things from his arab father anfd his mother that served him. He relinguished his secondary studies due to his father's death which really affected the family. Victoria Guzman was one of the people who detested Santiago whereas her daughter feel the exact opposite feeling fo Santiago. Santiago was every women's dream man which seem,ed to be reasonable because of all he did. Everyone in town assumed that he knew that they were coming to kill him but in fact he did not. When he was going to the Bishop's arrival, everyone was suspectious because his killers were following him. People who found out that he did not know about the plot against him tried to warn him but were too late. Bayardo was the man that came to town, who every lady felt the urge of marrying him, but he chose Angela. Angela had her own dark secret. Though he had not been wed before, she was not a virgin which presented a challenge to her.
Quote
"I didn't warn him because i thought it was drunkards' talk" (Marquez 13).
Reaction
I think that no one was willing to step forward and told him because they knew what he did was wrong. They did not want to interfere and at the same time noe wanted to anyone die. I think the lady who cooked at his house did not warn him because he touched her daughter inapproprietely.  This was enough for her to wish for his death. she was glad they killed him.
