The Demons Within There are many interesting, well developed, entertaining, colorful, exciting, and provocative characters in Mario Vargas Ll osa+s novel Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter. Pedro Camacho is quite a character, as well as Aunt Julia herself. I was even greatly intrigued by such small characters as Cousin Nancy and, believe it or not, the cabdriver who helped find a mayor to marry Aunt Julia and Marito. however, nobody in the whole book interested me more than Marito Varguitas himself. He is just such a well developed character, and really seems like a person who would be fun to know. In fact, nothing about Marito interested me more than the demons that he possesses, or should I say seem to posses him and manifest themselves in his life as well as his stories.
One of the many demons Marito possesses is his writing itself. he seems to constantly be in the middle of writing another short story to send to some newspaper or magazine. The thing is, none of these stories actually ever seem to be very good or successful. Throughout the novel, not one of them is ever actually publisher.
Not even Marito+s friends really like his writing. In Chapter thirteen he reads the one about Aunt Elian a to Javier, Aunt Julia, and even to Pascual and Big Pablito. After they hear it, not one of them really has anything nice to say about it at all. So, although writing is one of Marito+s passions, it is also one of his demons. It is basically his job and how he makes a living at the radio station +Radio Pan americana, + but it controls the rest of his live away from work as well. Another demon possessed by or possessing Marito is that of age.
The Essay on Character Analysis Of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Character Analysis of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome From beginning of the eighties and up until our days, there are more and more apocalyptical motives can be found in science fiction movies. The movie critics used to explain this by the fact that there used to be a lot of tension between USA and Soviet Union at the time, so people instinctively tried to imagine the worst possible future scenarios. ...
Age obviously plays a huge role in this novel. Marito is barely eighteen years old, not even a legal adult in his own country, and yet he is in love with Aunt Julia, how is not only divorced, but also many years older than her lover at thirty something years old. His age seems to cause many conflicts for Marito throughout the book. The funny thing is that when it was preventing him from marrying Aunt Julia, all that was done was simply to change one number, a six to a three, to solve the problem. In the end, it really didn+t seem as if age was really the issue that was the problem for Marito and Aunt Julia+s family.
Another huge demon in the story is incest. Incest is everywhere in this book! First and most obvious is the relationship between Marito and aunt Julia. They are not actually blood relatives, but Aunt Julia is Marito+s Uncle Lucho’s sister in law. But that still makes here a relative of sorts and therefore makes their relationship and eventual marriage wrong, especially in the eyes of the family. another interesting thing in the book is that every other one of Aunt Julia+s suitors who come to call is also a distant relative of some sort.
The last bit of incest comes out at the very end of the story. After and eight year marriage, and a divorce that actually devastates the family, Marito remarries an actual blood relative. He marries his cousin Patricia and turns his aunt and uncle in to his mother and father in law. It+s funny that his family didn+t seem to have too much of a problem accepting this marriage. Perhaps they were numb to it by this time. Another demon expressed in Marito+s writing and life is money.
There never seems to be enough of it for him to do what he wants. He can+t take Aunt Julia out as much as he would like because he doesn+t earn enough money. He can+t move out of his family+s house and solve most of his problems with them because he doesn+t earn enough money to pay rent at an apartment. He also almost risks not being able to marry Aunt Julia for want of money to pay the mayor. Likewise, money also shows up in his writing. For example, the story about the soccer referee Joaquin Hinostroza Belmont in chapter sixteen had a great deal to do with money.

In my opinion, Marito was writing about money so much due to the fact that he had none. One final demon affecting Marito is divorce. The main reason Marito and Aunt Julia+s family is all up in arms about their relationship and marriage is not because of the age difference, that did not turn out to be that big of a deal; thither is it because they are distant relatives. No, it is mostly just because Aunt Julia was previously married and now divorced.
Before Aunt Julia even arrived from Bolivia, the whole family was already talking badly about her. They had even gone so far as to stay up all night gossiping about her. They were probably so upset about her divorce because they are a religious family, and it meant that she could not remarry in a church. Another time this demon rears its ugly head is eight years later, when Marito and Aunt Julia divorce. The family should logically be happy.
The marriage that they never wanted is now finally over. But no, they are all upset by that too. I find it strange that they even got divorced at all. Marito seemed to be fighting her previous divorce for so long, when he finally won and married her, he ended up divorcing her anyway. Marito seems to be affected by a great many more demons. I could go on and on, but I think that you probably get the picture.
I think that without these demons or little imperfections in him, Marito would have made for a very bland, boring, dull, flat character and the story would not have been nearly as interesting as it was.
