The court in this case understands Pedro and Pablo's reasons for murdering Santiago, which were out of dignity, oddly, even the church understands that. They got three years of jail time before the actual trial but never felt penitent for their actions. Before they were captured, they went to the butchers shop to sharpen their knives and tell everyone about their plans. For some reason the twins had waited for him at the front of the Santiago's house when though he always comes through the back. There was a relationship between butchers and the animal, most butchers couldn't look at the animal, know the animal, or drink from the animal when slaughtering them. While the Vicario's named their animals, they also slaughtered them. At 4:30, they went to Clotilde Armenta's bar and got drunk. Colonel Leonardo Aponte fits the two pieces together on why the bride was dismissed and Vicario brothers sudden plan, and so he decided to take their knives. The twins tell everyone that they are going to murder Santiago and Clotilde Armenta sends a lot of people to tell Santiago but no one does. Sense Pedro Vicario had gotten into the military; Pablo became more dependent on him. Pedro had decided to kill Santi but after a while he regretted it and this happened after the colonel stopped them, Pablo then took charge. At 4:30, Santi comes home without turning on the lights straight to bed; he had been with the towns prostitute called Maria Alejandrina Cervantes. Santi had decided to go to Bayardo's house without knowing that Angela had been send back to sing newlywed songs. Even the priest had heart the message but he realized that it wasn't any of his business. The novice major had ordered them to give Santi and autopsy and his body was but in the living room meanwhile they made his sophisticated coffin. The dogs were killed because they wanted to eat his guts. Father Amador performed the autopsy and found that Santiago had perforations all over his body. Nasar smell follows the reporter and the twins, it actually haunts them. They are both sent to jail before the judge arrives, but Pablo gets really sick and they get send home. The whole family moves away, the dad dies, Pablo gets married and wealthy, Pedro joins the army and is never heard of again. As for Angela and Pura, they move away to a nearby town. Bayardo Roman is found unconscious on his bed a day after his wedding, he was intoxicated and later on his mother comes to pick him up and is never seen again. Angela bought a house near the water and lived there all her life, she became down-to-earth on hear life and maturity. However, she never really assured that Nasar was really at fault. Angela admitted that she didn't fake her virginity on purpose because she felt bad for San roman and took the hits for him. She writes Roman letter after seeing him one day and becomes obsessed with him. San Roman after 17 years comes back after recovering about 2,000 letter. Santi's fiancé Flora becomes a prostitute. Cristo Bedoya goes to Santiago's house to warm him about the death and sneakds into his room, gets his gun to give it to Nasar so he can defend himself, but Cristo never finds Nasar.

Quote
" They were sitting down to breakfast when they saw Santiago Nasar enter, soaked in blood and carrying the roots of his entrails in his hands...Santiago Nasar walked with his usual good bearing, measuring his steps well, and that his sarcen face with its dashing ringlets was handsomer than ever" (Marquez 120).
My reaction to this quote was a better understanding of who Santiago Nasar was. Marquez's writing style demonstrates an ability to look at a few sentences about a character that are written and see a bit of what his personality is like. This quote of before Santiago dies connects to the whole story because it shows how even after Santiago is killed, he still walks the same way and behaves the same way. He doesn't blame anyone, he's just confused. The quote describes Santiago in such a way that the reader can use imagery to picture Santiago Nasar in there mind.
