Remedios the Beauty
PAGE 15
The daughter of Santa Sofía de la Piedad and Arcadio (José Arcadio III), Remedios the Beauty's beauty drives men to their deaths. She remains innocent and childlike; her mother feeds and cleans her well into her twenties. One day, she ascends to heaven in her sister-in-law Fernanda del Carpio's sheets. She is the older sister of the twins José Arcadio Segundo and Aureliano Segundo.
