Fukú is it a Curse, or is it a Curse of Consequences? The characters in Diaz’s book do suffer from some serious bad luck. But the way Diaz uses what known as magical realism and mixes real life people and historic events with characters in this fictional book, makes if feel the people in story are magical, in a bigger than life way, and it makes the reader what there to be a bigger than life curse that would explain all the bad luck the befalls these characters. But it’s not the fukú curse that is to blame choices these characters made, what it to blame is their decisions and the price that was paid was their own curse of consequences, which left me sad.
