¿Mosén Millán un héroe?
La mayoría de lectores piensan que Mosén Millán fue un cobarde al entregar a Paco en Réquiem por un campesino español, sin embargo yo creo que tal vez Mosén Millán fue un héroe pero nunca se dio algo de crédito. Si pensamos en el bienestar de la gente mas allá de Paco podemos ver que tal vez entregar a Paco en el momento fue la mejor idea. La razón es que mucha gente estaba siendo matada, y yo creo que Mosén Millán pensó que tal vez sacrificando a Paco las matanzas terminarían porque ya tendrían al líder del grupo contrario. En cierta forma yo creo que Mosén Millán se sacrifico porque el realmente quería a Paco; él lo vio a Paco desde bebe crecer y el dice que él es su padre espiritista de Paco, entonces el de alguna manera sacrifico a su hijo por el bien de el resto de la gente en el pueblo. El nunca dice en la historia porque motivo entrego a Paco, pero lo que es claro es que el respetaba a Paco, lo quería como un hijo, y a lo largo de la historia él lo hizo ver como si Paco fuera lo mejor que murió como un mártir lo que a mí me hace creer que fue muy difícil para el entregar a su hijo para que fuera sacrificado para salvar al resto de la gente del pueblo.

I agree with this statement. If the government could obtain Paco then the uprising would cease and the village people would be saved. If the government could not obtain Paco then the genocide would continue until there were no more village people left. But what i really question is the other options that Mosen Millan could have tooken. What if he pretended that he did not know where Paco was and pretended to aid the government? The only thing against this is that he would be sinning because he would be decieving them. Or what would have happened if he would have said he did not know where Paco was? Would they really continue to sacrifice the village people? Or what if everyone would have simmered down in the village, would the forasteros have left? There seems to be many possibilities and we do not know the consequences or effects of each.
I also do not want to be so bold and say Mosen Millan is innoncent because Prof Haidt made a great point that we do not know what thoughts were in his head. On the other hand, he is not all the way punishable because he had a tough decision to make. I guess it is safe to say that the decision weighed out in favor of the death of Paco because the benefit of manyl lives being protected is much more than one life being protected. Side note: Paco reminds me of my grandfather who was a famous court marshall who opposed the crooked government in a time when everything was regulated by them. Because he fought for the rights of the people of his country and because he worked as a political activist, they murdered him in cold blood. But he defended his people and his country to the death!
