Pedro Páramo Section 52 Summary

  • The revolutionaries arrive at Pedro Páramo's ranch.
  • Pedro offers them money for their revolution, and their leader likes the sound of that. Two of his men, Perseverancio and Casildo, are not too convinced though.
  • They ask him for 50,000 pesos, and he promises them 100,000 plus 300 men to fight with.
  • This was pretty smart, as a big part of the Mexican revolution was kicking rich landowners like Pedro Páramo out of their houses and taking over their land.
  • Listen to this to find out more.
  • The men shake hands and leave, but not before threatening Pedro's life if he doesn't follow through on his side of the bargain.
