Quote
"The Damage form the knives was only a beginning for the unforgiving autopsy that Father Carmen Amador found himself obliged to perorm in Dr. Dionisio Iguarian's absence" (Marquez 72).

Reaction
This is the first sentence of Chapter 4 and it shows that there is no hope for Santiago. From the start it shows that this is the end of him and know his murder is known. The way it is said and where it was put in the chapter gave it a big importance and that it shows that it is the climax of the story. I seen it coming but I never knew he was going to be killed like that.
