Santiago's involvement in the group is motivated more by his infatuation with Aida, a leftist revolutionary, than by any interest he has in social change. After joining, it isn't long before Santiago gives up his association with the group to devote himself to a mediocre existence. His actions reveal his lack of will to commit himself to any demanding profession or cause.
