Active Reading-Summary:Chapter Eight
Aureliano Jose is now older and the incest comes upon this chapter also. Although Aureliano Jose has always seen Amaranta nude, he suddenly desires her. They begin to have a fling type of relationship but Amaranta knows it would never work and stops it. Colonel Aureliano Buendia continues on with the war issues and has gone to the Caribbean to take care of more war issues (which by the way, confuse me). While he is gone, all the women that Aureliano had children come forward to baptize their child and Ursula writes down their information for Aureliano to find them when he came back. Aureliano Jose dies in this chapter and Colonel Aureliano attacks Macondo capturing the Mayor Moncanda, whom he sentences to death.
