Summary:
The Vicario brother's are serious about killing Santiago, they are looking for him everywhere. Even tough many know about the twin's plan to kill him, some find it hard to believe because they are known to be good people and nobody really pays any close attention to him. Colonel Lazaro Aponte then fins out about what is going on but he does nothing about it since he handled many fights the previous night. Then they are sent home with their knifes being taken away, but then they just got two new knifes and sharpened them. Pablo Vicario is also supposed to be marrying a woman by the name of Prudencia Cotes and she told him that the only reason she will marry him is beause he would not have kept his sister's honor by killing Santiago. As they left Prudencia's house, they went back to the milk shop to in which Clothilde Armenta tries to make them drunk by giving them rum, so they won't be able to do anything. Then that day Santiago appears dead and it is a mystery now especially because no one knows how he really died but everyone suspects that it was the Vicario brothers. Then they are placed in the local prison and then they were moved to the one in Riohacha.
Quote:
"Still, in reality it seemed that the Vicario brothers had done nothing right with a view to killing Santiago Nasar immediately and without any public spectacle, but had done much more than could be imagined to have someone to stop them from killing him, and they had failed" (Marquez).
Response:
This quote made me think a lot. First of all, it was in a context that made me wonder what it all meant. I put a lot of tought into it and finally i came to decide that the quote shows how no one else saw a reason into killing Santiago, but they wanted to do it either way. Therefore, no one really stopped them from killing Santiago. Or so people think they killed him.

the brothers did not kill Santiago in an undercover way; it was very public and could have been prevented
