The Family of Pascual Duarte is presented as if it is a discovered manuscript left by an executed criminal…
I am not, sir, a bad person, though in all truth I am not lacking in reasons for being one. We are all born naked, and yet, as we begin to grow up, it pleases Destiny to vary us, as if we were made of wax. Then, we are all sent down various paths to the same end: death. Some men are ordered down a path lined with flowers, others are asked to advance along a road sown with thistles and prickly pears. The first gaze about serenely and in the aroma of their joyfulness they smile the smile of the innocent, while the latter writhe under the violent sun of the plain and knit their brows varmints at bay. There is a world of difference between adorning one’s flesh with rouge and eau-de-cologne and doing it with tattoos that later will never wear off…
Unhappy childhood… Vicious relatives… Sinister surroundings… His missive goes as the mournful lamentations of a lamb led to the slaughter…
And so I decided to just lie low and let events take their course. Maybe that’s the way the sheep think as they are led off to the slaughterhouse.
He appears to be overwhelmed with sorrow… He is full of chagrin, regrets and repentance…
A little further on, to the right of my road and halfway home, the cemetery lay along my way, just where it had always lain, and bounded by the same wall of blackened adobe bricks, with the same tall cypress which hadn’t changed a leaf and the same hooting owl perched in its branches. It was the cemetery where my father rested from his ruinous fury, Mario from his innocence, my wife from her abandon, and Stretch from his pimping. It was the cemetery where the remains of my two children lay rotting, the one who had been aborted, and yet buried, and Pascualillo who in the eleven months of his life had yet been our darling…
However his hands were drenched in blood… And not just once…
Murderous criminals always wish to believe and prove that they’re only innocent victims of evil circumstances.181 s Ahmad Sharabiani9,564 51

”I'm not made to philosophize, I don't have the heart for it. My heart is more a machine for making blood to be spilled in a knife fight...”

Camilo José Cela was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in October 1989 and the novel The Family of Pascual Duarte is considered to be his masterpiece. The Family of Pascual Duarte is written in first-person narration, the unreliable narrator being Pascal Duarte himself, a Castillian peasant and multiple murderer narrating the story of his life while waiting for his execution.
Playing with themes of realism and existentialism, Cela writes a sad story from the margins of society with an ambiguous and ambivalent character of Pascal Duarte. Pascal could be called a cold-blooded sociopath that has no emotional regulation and in the moment of anger kills instinctively and aimlessly, without guilt or remorse. But that is not the whole picture of Pascal, who is capable of unimaginable cruelty but also tenderness.

”I am not, sir, a bad person, though in all truth I am not lacking in reason for being one.”

In details of realism, we learn about the conditions Pascal came from extreme poverty in rural Extremadura, son of abusive father and abusive and alcoholic mother, with his life being a row of unfortunate events including the tragic death of his brother, and spiritual misery. The conditions Pascal lived in and the genetics he has, leave almost no place for him to be any other way, as violence, evil and misery seem to be an inherent part of his life.

”The truth is that life in my family had little to recommend. But since we are not given a choice, but rather are destined—even from before birth—to go some of us one way, some the other, I did my best to accept my fate, which was the only way to avoid desperation.”

Is Pascal a victim, or a wilful criminal, a morally corrupt person, a hero, a coward, or a madman? These questions are extremely difficult ones to answer as the narration itself is distant, and we never learn about the motives behind the narration itself or Pascal’s reflections on his actions. The novel's ambivalence replies not with an either-or criterion but with an assertion of both-and. Pascal seems to have no internal process, he does not talk about repenting, nor has grief. There is an inextricable mixture of fatality and willfulness in murders. But Pascal is also a sentimental brute, who cares deeply for his sister, brother, and son.

Pascal is ultimately guilty of the unimaginable crime, the premeditated murder of his own mother, but we never get to the inner process that leads him to that. The theme of the murder of the mother is very interesting as it does not come up in literature as often as patricide but Cela does not provide enough material in this short novel to analyze it further so I won’t attempt to. One thing is certain, Pascal is suffering from deep existential and «ontological» insecurity, «a schizoid state that can be understood as an attempt to preserve a being that is precariously structured.» Maybe Pascal is both lying to himself and to the reader and yet baring his soul, portraying himself as a victim of fate but Pascal can’t hide the emptiness of his inner world that is striking.fiction kindle literary-fiction111 s Mohammad Hrabal326 227

For fans of Spanish miserablism set in a heartless deterministic universe (i.e. this one), Pascal Duarte is the brief novel for you. Duarte’s confession, written from prison, is a beautiful recounting of a life of violent poverty and aimless murder, told in simple and frequently moving prose. Cela’s work is often concerned with the seemingly endless human capacity for violence and conflict and this short work leaves a powerful imprint on the reader with its moments of hair-raising cruelty and almost unbearable tenderness.dalkey-archive novels southern-europe57 s ??????????????????145 74
