For Example, Oscar loses his virginity to Ybon, a prostitute, and thinks that by dying at the end, it would dismiss the Fuku. This shows that Oscar believing in the curse did influence his behavior. In the article “The everyday Magic of Superstition” by Fradera he says that “superstition lives, longer than books; it is engrafted on the human mind till it becomes a part of its existence; and is carried from generation to generation on the stream of eternity.” For some reason, Lola, Oscar’s sister, has “witchy feelings.” When Lola was in a relationship with Max, the love for Max was the bruja feeling she has been having. Another way the Fuku is showing is Beli and her intimate relationship with the Gangster. She got pregnant from him, but he didn’t seem to be happy about that and he suggested her to get an abortion. Then later she finds out that he is married to Trujillo’s sister. Beli was badly beaten by two men and she ends up losing the baby. The mongoose that she saw represents the Zafa. Zafa is the opposite of Fuku. Zafa is more of a good luck
