The Power and the Glory III

Chapter three, is a chapter where tons of ideas, thoughts, and description fo characters happen. We first see how Captain Fellows is a correct person, with the decision of taking the "stranger" out of his barn, and no t letting him hide in there, also not giving him anything to drink , or eat. His daughter, Coral, on the other hand, shows alot of tolerance and compassion to the priest. This is really important because the priest told her to pray for him and she asnwers "You see, I dont believe in God. I lost my faith when I was ten." (pg 41), but Coral shows all the virtues of chirstianity. The she teaches him to talk in Morse Code, so that whne he comes back the can communicate by a flahslight.

This chapter, opened a way to compare the tittle of the novel with the plot. I think it is that the stroy is "working" around the two priests and their lifes. Padre Jose wants only money, and he charges people when the get confessed, or to baptise a kid, meaning, he wants POWER! On the other hand, our "stranger" is a fugitive which has done nothing wrong, always trusting in Gods word, batpising people when he is fugitive for the police, and even conffesing people whithout asking for something in excahnge. But the most important aspect is the one that he says "...to choose pain like that - it's not possible. And its my duty not to be caught. You see, my bishop is no longer here." (pg 40), we see clearly that he belives in the glory of God, his will and decisons on him. For me this is the relationship on the tittle. Chapter has opened new ideas on my reading.
