Interpretation

Critics primarily consider "Pedro Páramo" as either a work of magical realism or a precursor to later works of magical realism. This may be deceptive, however, as magical realism is a term coined to note the juxtaposition of the surreal to the mundane, with each bearing traits of the other. It is a means of adding surreal or supernatural qualities to a written work while maintaining a necessary suspension of disbelief. "Pedro Páramo" is distinct to other works classified in this manner, because the primary narrator states clearly in the second paragraph of the novel that his mind has filled with dreams and that he has given flight to illusion, and that a world has formed in his mind around the hopes of a man named Pedro Páramo. Likewise, several sections into this narration, Juan Preciado states that his head has filled with noises and voices. He is unable to distinguish living persons from apparitions. Certain qualities of the novel, including the narrative fragmentation, the physical fragmentation of characters, and the auditory and visual hallucinations described by the primary narrator, suggest that this novel's journey and visions may be more readily associated with the sort of breakdown of the senses present in schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like conditions than with magical realism.[4][5]
Meaning of title</SPAN>

The title of the work is Pedro P&aacute;ramo. It is obvious that the title underscores the importance of the character of Pedro P&aacute;ramo. Pedro is a very important character and his life and decisions that he makes are key to the survival of the town of Comala. He is not only responsible to the economic well-being of the town but also for the existence of many of its inhabitants. His offspring include Abundio, Miguel, and Juan along with countless others. He is commonly seen raping women and even Dorotea cannot keep track of all the women he has slept with. He is also responsible for the security of the town. He strikes a deal with the revolutionary army and does so mainly in his own self-interest and for protection. But being the owner of such a large swath of land, he is, by extension, in charge of the physical well-being of the town. An example of his power is when he decides to allow Comala to starve and do nothing with the fields and with the crops. The town withers on his apathy and indifference. The entire work centers around his actions, appetitive and aversive. He holds the town of Comala in the proverbial palm of his hand.
