This last quarter of the year, we read the play "La familia de Pascual Duarte" by Camilo José Cela. To conclude with the reading of this novel of the Spanish postwar period we had to make a personal assessment about him, and this entry I bring it to you.
The work shows the wildest side of an era marked by incomprehension and war and teaches us a Paschal of the best and the worst, especially the worst. It conveys the frustration of the time, the lack of culture in rural areas, which moves the characters to resolve their arguments using violence. The references to God are constant in the book and the characters go to God when they do not see another option given their ignorance.
The negative note may be the lack of chronological structure of the work, which induces the reader to a certain confusion.
The book has a didactic part since Pascual in his imprisonment explains to us when he repented what he should not have done, and that he can serve as an example to all:
Do not use violence to solve our problems.
To conclude, Cela's mastery is highlighted in this book because she is able to put Pascual's story into the story with a rural vocabulary that makes the novel very credible and close.
