The Characters of One Hundred Years of Solitude

Remedios Moscote

The youngest daughter of Don Apolinar Moscote; also the self-appointed mayor of Macondo, Remedios marries Colonel Aureliano Buendía just as she enters puberty. She is a happy and loving child who revitalizes the Buendía household for a short time. But Remedios dies suddenly while pregnant with twins. Her daguerreotype is kept in the family living room and becomes a relic.
