Remedios Moscote Character Analysis

The youngest daughter of Don Apolinar Moscote, the mayor of Macondo. Colonel Aureliano Buendía falls in love with her when she is only nine years old, and so he must wait until she has had her period to marry her. She accepts his son with Pilar Ternera (Aureliano José) as her own son, and is a positive presence in the lives of the Buendías. She dies suddenly, perhaps from a miscarriage, while carrying twins. A daguerreotype of her hangs beside a lit lamp in the Buendía home until the end of the book.
