Chronicle of a Death Foretold What metaphors are used in Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 04:17 Last updated by Jill W on 26 Jan 11:34
In Chapter One, Marquez uses the crowing of the cocks on the morning of Santiago’s murder, as a metaphor for betrayal. The betrayal of Santiago is being compared to Peter's betrayal of Jesus.
