Active Reading-Summary: Chapter Four

In this chapter Ursula has fixed up the house really nicely and has even hired a man to tecah Amaranta and Rebeca to dance, all meanwhile Aureliano cant get Remedios out of his head. In one attempt to talk to gher he actually freaks her out. Amaranta seems to be an outcast for they even said she had "hermiticism", hermits go and dwell away form everything on their own. There is even some drama in this chapter, Aureliano sleeps with Pilar, the same woman who slept with his brother. After that Pilar actually tries to help Aureliano get with Remedios and soon there will be two weddings. I think Amaranta's hermitism is affecting her for she is jealous of Rebeca's getting married and I would say of he rbeauty for in earlier of the book they mentioned that Amaranta was darker and it's a stereotype but dark is associated iwth ugliness.
Also, Jose Arcadio Buendia had done the unthinkable. He has gone insane.
