Description

En "La mala hora", Gabriel García Márquez construye una inolvidable fabula sobre la violencia colectiva. Al pueblo ha llegado la mala hora de los campesinos, la hora de la desgracias. La comarca ha sido "pacificada" después de una guerra civil. Han ganado los conservadores, que se dedican a perseguir cruel y pertinazmente a sus adversarios liberales. Al alba de una mañana, mientras el padre Ángel se dispone a celebrar la misa, suena un disparo en el pueblo. Un comerciante de ganado, advertido por un pasquín pegado a la puerta de su casa de la infidelidad de su mujer, acaba de matar el presunto amante de esta. Es uno mas de los pasquines anónimos clavados en las puertas de las casas, que no son panfletos políticos, sino simples denuncias sobre la vida privada de los ciudadanos. Pero no revelan nada que no se supiera de antemano: son los viejos rumores que ahora se han hecho públicos; y a partir de ellos estalla la violencia subyacente bajo una luz tórrida, espesa, cansada y pegajosa, en una serie de escenas encadenadas de inolvidable belleza.
