Divina Flor serves as a foil to Angela Vicario to expose how societal expectations exacerbate inequality within society. On

On line 20, Santiago Nasar grabs Divina Flor with a “butcher hawk hand” - the animalistic connotations of the metaphor imply a view that people without status are nothing more than untamed beasts in need of “butchering”. Additionally, this is seemingly uncharacteristic for the “merry and peaceful, and openhearted” Santiago Nasar - Márquez presents the idea that ill treatment of lower classes is completely irrelevant when considering someone’s kindness in Latin America. Furthermore,

Furthermore, this behaviour is expected within society; Divina Flor is “destined for Santiago Nasar’s… bed”. There is no backlash, which is a stark contrast to the main plot of the novella surrounding Angela Vicario, because Angela Vicario was expected to fulfil her role as virgin bride to a man of elite status.

Márquez also highlights the inequality between men and women in Latin American society, as Santiago is already engaged, yet isn’t expected to be a virgin.
