Requiem por un Campesino

After this week's discussion on "Requiem por un Campesino", I really got a sense for how important the writing style of Sender is. The double meanings that he put into his texts are really interesting. I did not see these double meanings until we went over them in class, but they are evident in even the first few pages of the book. Although I do like the double meanings that he put into his writing, I agree with Monali when she said that Sender has a very narrow view of the rightists. It is so clear that he is on the leftist side and that is fine, but what did the rightists really go through? I don’t think their behalf was fully demonstrated in this novel. I wish he had included the corruption of both sides, so people reading the novel today could make their own interpretation on who is “right” in this political battle.
