The prominent motifs of the story is love


and care for a friend. 

Image

a fine, smooth. Pale olive skin that
shone richly in the yellow light. Her
nose was straight, small and finely
molded. Her lips, full and red, were
fixed and tense.”
Felix praises Maria by saying that
she appears pale olive skin because
of the yellow light. Finely molded
nose and a red lips. Through the
contrasting image of light or a yellow
light, Felix portrays Maria’s beauty.

Characterization

Felix  was characterized by the author as


a flat character. Since he did not alter in
the plot, his attitude was evident from
the start and until the end. He remains
the man who enjoys a quiet, happy
evening in the streets in the presence of
beautiful buildings and walls. And now
he still feels love for her, from the start
until the end of the novel, where they
got separated by the war.

The author characterizes Maria as a


round character.  She was initially quiet
to Felix, but didn't even smile at him at
first. However, Felix was shocked to
discover that she enjoys exploring the
area. She became acquainted with Felix
and spoke with him about her life and
her family. Afterwards, she smiled at
him and seemed to feel relaxed around
him.

Uncle Lucio was characterized by


Rivera,the author, as a static character.
He remains the same personality at the
start through the end of the story. He
helps and takes care of Maria to have a
home.

Protagonist

Felix is the protagonist in the story, his


love and care for his friend was clearly
shown as he took care and never forgot
about his friend, Maria. 
Antagonist

The antagonists in the story were not


clearly shown because it’s a war but
perhaps the colonizers are the
antagonists. 

Frame Story

The author frames the story by


introducing the  journey of Felix, a hard
working and high dream guy who
started a friendship and was challenged
to be with Maria from which the story
revolved.

Theme

It's about real friendship. Many people


would brush us by and not remember us.
Yet true friends will remain in our hearts
even though they are not with us.

Resolution 

The resolution in the story was when


Felix woke up in the morning and
saw Maria cooking a friend rice, in
the afternoon he went back to the
office where he was working and to
his apartment where he used to live.
In the resolution we see how
friendships can go far in helping one
another to be happy and safe
throughout their lives. 
Conflict 
The conflict between man vs. society
was shown in the story as the main
character tried to survive the war
with his friend, Maria.
Foreshadowing 
The story has an advance sign or
warning of what is to come in the
future. The author of a story might
use foreshadowing in an early
chapter of our book to give readers
an inkling of an impending murder.
We want to let people know about an
event that is yet to occur so they need
to use foreshadowing.
Symbolism
Book – the copy of Felix of Greek
Myth, the book that Maria is reading
when Felix saw Maria for the first
time. Because of that book, Felix had
a chance to talk to Maria and become
friends.
Posters – Maria stopped to look at
the posters at the theater. Then Felix
saw her, and he feels like Maria is
sad. So at that moment, Felix took
the chance to talk to Maria and
comfort her.
Maria’s smile – Symbolizes trust and
a new friendship with her and Felix.
Figurative Language

The author uses figurative languages


such as personification and metaphor
to bring deep meanings and form the
creativity in the reader’s mind. Here
are some of the figurative lines that
he uses;
Personification
– soft cries that empty streets and
sleeping houses seem to share in the
light.

Metaphor
– And in the evening when the noise
of living had died down

Oxymoron/metaphor  -even in the


darkening light of the fading day.
Metaphor
-The breeze from the sea had died
down
Allegory
Felix and Maria 
-Represents the people who are in
WWII, who are separated and lost
their families and friends.

Why is this part of the


Contemporary Period?
This beautiful story was considered
as part of the contemporary period
because this was written after WWII
with all the other literary pieces
published by authors who rejoiced
and reminisced their experiences
through writing.  The story was also
a part of the contemporary period not
only because of the period that it was
made but also in its most sense of
giving the people a message of true
companionship that was made during
their darkest times in WWII. This
implies that Filipinos are capable of
surviving any setbacks through 
loving and caring for one another.
