Captain Pantoja and the Special Service What is the theme in Captain Pantoja and the Special Service by Mario Vargas Llosa? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 05:21 Last updated by Jill W on 18 Jul 11:12
One major theme in the novel is that of hypocrisy..... the hypocrisy of the secret service, as well as Sinchi's hypocrisy in both crying out against and perpetuating corruption.
