Identity is shaped by personal choices and life experiences. These experiences and altercations are used as building blocks to establish each human being.

Through his novel ‘Chronicle of a Death Foretold’, the author, Gabriel García Márquez, traced along the mysteries behind the brutal murder of Santiago Nasar and by incorporating a great portion of ambiguity, built up his emphasis of the complexity of humanity. Márquez had created numerous moments in the novel for which there was more than one possible interpretation, ranging from why the mayor had such a casual attitude toward the brothers’ plan to why the Vicario brothers kept on revealing their intentions to everyone. Having two probable interpretations indicates the existence of subtle motives behind the characters’ behaviors and thoughts. Among these ambiguous moments, the one in which the mayor simply took the knives away from the brothers without arresting them and the scene of Santiago exclaiming at the very end did an especially significant job on highlighting the theme of the entire murder mystery. The depiction of the characters of the mayor and townspeople exhibits a most chaotic town full of disorder and its main cause - the residents’ selfishness and indifference for each other.
