Summary
The twins are released from jail and were able to continue their lives. As Angela moved to another town she sold encyclopedias and medical books to make a living, over the years she aged due to her experiences. I was shocked to hear this as she was described to be a good looking young lady. Missing Bayardo she wrote him many letters which he never responded to. She comforted herself by knowing he was receiving all of them. 17 years later he went to her door with clothes and the unopened letters. Santiago's death was never spoken about directly after but it is believed that Santiago didn't take away her virginity because they were never seen together. It is also said that he didn't understand why it was he was being murdered when the twins stabbed him.
Quote
"The more letters she sent the more the coals of her fever burned. (Maquez 93)"
Reaction
In this quote you can see all of the pain she feels due to the shameful happenings after her marriage, as well as the pain of being rejected by her husband. She wrote letters to him which he wouldn't reply to. Rejection made her feel as if it was bad luck that he had chosen to marry her; bringing her self-esteem down.
