About This Novel
In order to fulfill my mother's last wish, I came to the small town of Comala to look for my father Pedro Páramo, whom I had never met. The kind-hearted donkey driver directed me to stay at the house of Mrs. Eduway Hayes - she seemed to have been waiting for my arrival early in the morning. The village is desolate and desolate, but you can often hear footsteps wiping the ground and buzzing like a swarm of bees. The life there seems to be whispering and rippling in the wind... Through conversations with them, the Comala of the past gradually emerges: Pedro Páramo's family fell into poverty when he was young, and he became a ruler by scheming and plundering, committing all kinds of evil. However, the only son he recognized fell from a horse and died, and the beloved wife he married after half a life went crazy and died. He cursed the entire village, and he himself could not escape the disaster...

This article is not developed in a flashback manner, nor is it an interlude, a narration, or a supplementary narration. In fact, time has no order at all in this novel. It is like an incomplete puzzle, composed of incoherent pieces one after another, and each fragment is basically composed of dialogue. The three persons are used here to their fullest.
When Pedro Páramo was a child, his father was shot and killed at a wedding. From then on, their family fell into decline. In order to take revenge, Pedro became "the embodiment of hatred." He did all kinds of evil, relied on clever plunder and robbery to revive his family business, and became the overlord of one party.
In order to default on his debt, Pedro Páramo deceived him into marrying Dolores, the largest female creditor, and gave birth to Juan Preciado, the "I" in the article. After the marriage, he embezzled Dolores' property and abandoned mother and son.
