Of Love and Other Demons

In the novel, Sierva is a twelve year old girl that dies of rabies because a dog bites her while she is on her way the store. The author also introduces a lot more characters as we continue reading. A character that stands out to me is Abrenuncio. He was found, at the side of the road with his dead horse, by the Marquis. He shows his sensitivity by wishing he could bury it in holy grounds. It is a little sad to me because Sierva isn't treated as well as this horse. Her mother does not think too much of the dog bite but believes she will be fine.
