7. Remedios Moscote

LD: pp. 66-72- Remedios Moscote is Colonel Aureliano Buendia's bride-to-be. I find it interesting that he has chosen to marry her instead of any of her older sister's.
pp. 52-54- Aureliano seems to be more attracted to very young girls, and seems to want to "protect" them, much in the same way that he wanted to protect the girl whose grandmother forces her to prostitute herself to repay her for burning down her house.
pp. 89-91- Remedios has died from some kind of complication from child birth. Amaranta feels guilty about Remedios death because she desired to poison Rebeca before her wedding because she is in love with Jose Arcadio.
pp. 98- Aureliano is full of rage over Remedio's death and his father-in-law urges him to marry one of his other daughters, but he does not want to.
