The Chieftest Mourner
by: Aida Rivera Ford
*kung bawal montage: Fighting video in real life and Legal wife
B. The narrator expresses the time when her uncle and aunt is happy with each other. Her
uncle is also a poet. A very famous and excellent poet. Her uncle was so close to her that she
treated him as her second father. The uncle changed and does go home late at night at a drunken
pace. Then his wife (Aunt Sophia) tied him. And the next day the uncle decided to go away. The
aunt didn’t stopped him, instead she pushed him away. The uncle then had a new wife.
Eventually, the narrator’s uncle died. Then the two wives quarreled. The other woman fought for
her right as to whom the uncle’s body be kept. Sophia just fought for the peace and solemnity of
the funeral. The poet's family heeded the other woman to stop her scandal and leave. The other
wife gave up. She left the place with a tear on the face.
It is a story with a focal point focused on love, innocence, despair and betrayal in the context of
death. Some reflective traits are the delicadeza system being practiced, the unfaithfulness of
husbands, presence of gossipers, scandals in public and ridiculous funeral set-up with two
different camps in opposite sides. A minimal Spanish colonialism practices is also being
reflective in the story through the practiced of delicadeza system and the regular used of Spanish
language. Along the way, the reader can feel that the narrator itself is being caught between love
and disloyalty.
