Father Juilliard Character Analysis in Trash

A 63-year-old volunteer who runs the Pascal Aguila Mission School on the Behala landfill. Father Juilliard longs to make a difference in the miserable lives of the dumpsite kids, but he recognizes that attempting to educate them is essentially hopeless since they’ll likely never make it off the landfill. Most of the people who are born in Behala die there, spending their lives scavenging among rotting trash to survive. Juilliard is particularly fond of a young boy nicknamed Rat, whom Juilliard gives extra food and cash even though this is against the school’s rules. Father Juilliard hasn’t seen Rat, Raphael, and Gardo since the day they lied to gain access to the school computer while they were hunting for Senator Zapanta’s stolen fortune. Nevertheless, it seems the boys are still in touch with Father Juilliard, who’s now pulling together all the accounts of the parties involved so that the boys can tell their story of how they discovered the fortune, exposed Zapanta’s corruption, and changed the lives of everyone living in Behala.

His final act—the one that killed him—was to expose three senators who’d been siphoning off public taxes and stowing them off-shore. They all resigned and the prosecution rumbles on. Pascal Aguila was shot to pieces in a taxi, on his way to testify. Twenty-six bullets—the same caliber as a policeman’s gun —and his murderers were never found.

Explanation and Analysis:

Early in the story, Father Juilliard, a 63-year old man who manages the charity-run Pascal Aguila Mission School, provides the backstory for Pascal Aguila, after whom the school is named. It turns out that Pascal Aguila was a poor boy who managed to train as a lawyer and who became a lifelong advocate for the city’s poor. Aguila fought imprisonment, eviction, and lack of access to education and water before attempting to expose three corrupt politicians. Mulligan uses Aguila’s story to foreground the pervasive corruption in this society that Senator Zapanta (the corrupt vice-president and the story’s antagonist) exemplifies within Dolorem et quae.

Explanation and Analysis:

Olivia Weston comments on her experiences as a volunteer on the charity-run Mission School in Behala, shortly before the protagonists trick her into accompanying them to Colva Prison. Here, she reflects on Father Juilliard’s description of the moment Raphael walks into Behala, bloody and beaten from his police interrogation: Raphael is immediately surrounded by an outpouring of grief for the violence he endured by the other residents, who immediately run out and comfort him. Their reaction is so visceral that it’s as if each of them was personally afflicted by Raphael’s suffering. Through this observation, Olivia emphasizes the deep sense Dolorem et quae.
