Character Sketches
Dona Laura: The characterisation of Dona Laura, a perfect representative of the elder generation which is an exception. She is described to be perfect in mannerism and handsome by nature, which is quite a rare one but has been deliberately done. The initial meeting with Gonzalo is not very appealing but the moment she realizes that he is the same person who was known to her long ago, there is a complete shift in her approach.
Laura appears to be quite strict and outspoken and she doesn't care to respect the feelings of people nearby. The only particular instance where she fails to gain the sympathy of the readers is during the narration of her death. She doesn't make it look classic and it is here that Gonzalo overrules her.
Laura has always been a keen observer of both people and nature around her(birds) and when it comes to human nature, she has always ridiculed Petra to such an extent that Petra has learned to overcome the humiliation and turn it into honor(bouquet)
Laura, the moment she has realized that the person sitting next to her is Gonzalo, her attitude undergoes a change, which is not observed by Gonzalo. Earlier when Gonzalo, in spite of everything offers her the snuff, she immediately asks him if it is of good quality. Even after it is completely confirmed that the person is Gonzalo, she still drops the flowers towards the end for reconfirmation. This clearly indicates her perfection.
Gonzalo: Gonzalo is the character described which is a combination of all different kinds of odds brought together. The initial description tries to provide the picture of an irritating old man(cross and funny). He is irritated each moment as he is unable to fulfill his desires, be it as simple as trying to be seated on his regular bench. On the other hand, he appears to exhibit the so-called 'gentlemanly' traits because he has always spoken in a kind and considerate way with Laura.
Gonzalo has gained the attention of all readers in the narration of his glorious death. The reader's ability to comprehend the character changes completely but Gonzalo is not that sharp to know who the person next to him is. But the moment he gets the doubt, his approach towards Laura changes.
Towards the end, he voluntarily tells Laura that if the next day had a pleasant weather, he would surely come to the park, and also get some bread crumbs as he wanted to get over the guilt of trying to shoo the birds away.
