Perichole in The Bridge of San Luis Rey

The character that I chose for this composition is the Perichole, also called Dona Micaela later in the book. The Perichole is a greatly acclaimed actress, who was tutored by Uncle Pio. ... Later in the book, the Perichole decides to become a lady and tries to break all connections with Uncle Pio. ...
I chose the adjective sensitive because nearly every critique that Uncle Pio gives to the Perichole sends her into tremendous fits of weeping. ... ’
More tears from the Perichole: ‘Oh God let me die in peace! ... ’
Here the Perichole would fling her face and arms upon the table amide the pomades, caught up in a tremendous fit of weeping. ... ”
Later in the book, the Perichole decides to become a lady. ... ’ ”
My last detail is in the very last chapter where the Perichole is visiting the Abbess after the accident. ... ’ ”
I believe that these details state that the Perichole is a sensitive person, not always to other people’s feelings. ... ’ ” This is selfish because the Perichole knows all that Uncle Pio did for her in her younger days. ...

I believe that in this story the character most affected by the Perichole is definitely Uncle Pio, because of his divine love and devotion to her even in her times of hardship. Additionally in this story, the reader can learn one of life’s many lessons from the Perichole’s character. ... If the bridge of San Luis Rey takes the living away from the living, it is the bridge of love, which connects the living and the dead.
