Santa Sofia de la Piedad Character Analysis

When Arcadio falls in love with Pilar Ternera, unaware that she is his mother, Pilar pays Santa Sofia de la Piedad, a virgin, 50 pesos to sleep with him instead. She has three children with Arcadio: Remedios the Beauty, and twins José Arcadio Segundo and Aureliano Segundo. She works hard all of her life without complaint, so much so that family members mistake her for a servant rather than a matriarch.

Aureliano Segundo visited her frequently and he brought her clothing which she would place beside the bed along with the things most indispensible for daily life, so that in a short time she had built up a world within reach of her hand.
