My Brother, My Executioner

My Brother, My Executi mavenr was set on a time when the Hukbalhap was still fighting their questionable fight, and in cardinal places, namely Manila and of course in the little t feature of Rosales. The take for is one of the Rosales series after all. The Rosales part of the desktop shows us a public torn in half one is seemingly bliss luxurianty prosperous part that is under the shadow of the keen(p) Don Vicente Asperri, and the other one being the epitome of blight whos farming community decided to oppose the sliminess feudal system. The last mentioned part of course is where the Huks set up shop.The Manila part of the myth represents modern feeling far external from the hardships of the rural beas and far away from deadly troubles of the feudal system warring with armed revolutionaries. This is the set of urban center lights, university life and luxury cars upon which the main character unknowingly falls in love with in spit of his grand ambitions. The two places in the account seem to reflect the two worlds the writer grew up in. He did turn up experiencing the affliction of the feudal system and the poverty it brought. He acquaintance living with freedom fighters when the Japanese invaded this country.He also experienced urban center life when he came to study collage. It is also a dandy way for city folk to be introduced to the main characters plight if they ever find him some one to relate to. The characters contrive been said to be unrealistic by those of the internet who found time reviewing this classic. The main characters came from anomalous backgrounds and have unusual character development. Added to that, the cruel circumstances theyve endured should warrant their slight than conventional personalities. Luis Asperri, the illegitimate son of Don Vicente.He aspires vengeance upon his start for what he has done to his mother, for the sad situation that has befallen his chelahood neighborhood and for his birth. He was picked up by his father some time in his adolescence when the resemblance became app arnt(a) two his father and his maid mother, whom Don Vicente had paid bonuses for special utility had muddied skin. He was sent to Manila by his father to go to collage which he then quit to be a full time writer for a liberal magazine. He uses his writing to besot back at his father besides is unknowingly falling to the dark side. After all, Luxury, at one time sampled, becomes necessity.Trining is Luis cousin-german. She is also destined to be his wife. She witnessed the massacre of her family in some kind of great arson fire when she was young. She acted as Luiss sister in their younger days. She advised Luis to go get himself a girl conversance but when he does she felt irritated. She doesnt seem to be any typical fe staminate character from other famous Filipino stories from what she does with his cousin alone. Some people in the internet think that her feelings toward his cousin are unrealistic but he was the only thing that she could sway on to after what that terrible incident.Ester is Luis girlfriend in Manila. She is the daughter of his boss. He dated her, had a barbecue in the shore on a sunset. She is strong willed like Trining but by chance not as much. She maybe a spoiled brat and have issues with attention and family problems but she sincerely precious to become her own woman. Luis was not genuinely much amiable toward her as he was with Trining and this might have been the straw that broke the camels back and drove her into going forth like Marilyn Monroe death by sleeping pills.It is implied that she knew about Luis and Trining. Victor is Luis half brother with their mother. He late became a leader of the revolutionary group Hukbalhap. He was an inspiring render to Luis when they were young. They kept in touch by snail mail. Though both of them hate Don Vicente but only Victor managed to shake things happen. Luis wanted to work his rebellion from the in side but the dark side is very tempting indeed. Finally, Don Vicente Asperri, he is primarily the big bad of the myth.He caused generally everyone besides himself great suffering and despair. He is a feudal maestro on a time which it is suppose to be illegal. He has analyse in Europe thus making him a don. His tentacles of power are far reaching with influences to the police, military, the justice system and even the church. He is friend to a bishop which helped a lot to make the marriage of his son with his nephew elicit free. If that was not wretched enough, he keeps his wife in the tallest tower of the Asperri manor house which he drove clinically insane.He is a typical example of the evil father which is popular in many ground breaking stories. He is rich and therefore very powerful in a lay defined by poverty. He wanted his son to inherit his world of pride, power and deception to his son indicating that he really was as proud of his devious work as any decent villain w ould. The story is set in a world that the writer wanted to patch out, there are evil people out there and they make this world excruciatingly inconvenient for most of the people. It shows how people are control to wage war even at piece time.He has seen this happen with his own eyes most definitely but if he said it out loud he might have been shot dead. He showed how evil land lords are very capable and are very uncoerced to wipe out an entire village for the sake of power. Whether that is based on fact remains as speculation and revolutionary rhetoric these scenes are the reason why the book was banned in the martial justness era. The book also points out how large companies milk out great revenue from liberalist writings such as what the character Luis has done but are themselves like land lords and out of control capitalist giants.The magazine and paper company Luis worked for was the media wing of an economic giant that itself was linked to his fathers. Its like throwing a turtle into a river you thought you gave it a cleanup blow but it was just riding with the current. The book was a great read really makes you empathize with the characters especially in the end when everything was bursting into flames. The racial extermination that Don Vicente orchestrated was either lethally unsuccessful or may have triggered the arrival mass reinforcements from the huks.Everybody is dead or against him, his wife got shot and his child turned up wrong, Luis might as well have strapped a bomb on himself and went for a kamikaze attack on the huks, that would wave been a very poetic end for that character and would have been a suit enemy for the huks. A final though about procreation with once cousin it is generally considered safer to have a child with the daughter of the males aunt than with the uncles, a fact that was not available to the Asperries which resulted in a tragic and ironic but predictable result.
