    Plot
     Exposition

    Inoncencia, a young woman, lives in a house


    that is situated in a rural area in Compostella
    Valley with his father Purok and his brother
    Puro. They have pigs in a pigpen and she was
    the one who is incharge of feeding and taking
    care of them.

     Rising Action

    While she was plucking the fern fronds for


    their meals, she met Boy Ponciano, who was
    taking a bath under the bank. The two had a
    sexual encounter that went unnoticed until
    they knew she was pregnant. Her father took
    her to Agusan and there, she gave birth to her
    first child. Months later, she went back to
    Compostella Valley.

    Plot
     Climax
    Mariano, the Ilocano, went to their house to
    mate his sow with Purok’s boar. Inocencia was
    curious about the mating of the pigs. When she
    watched how the pigs mated (how the boar
    was grunting hotly, impatiently nudging the
    sow), she noticed the similarities of the action
    of the boar and her father.

    Plot
     Falling Action

    As the baby cried louder, her thoughts went


    back to the pigpen, among the piglets. The
    recollection of those memories made her feel a
    terrible cruelty that she ended up killing her
    child with a pillow.
    Plot
     Resolution
    Plot
     Resolution
    Inocencia told Turo that the child wasn’t his’
    but Purok’s. While the two men were
    dumbfounded, she went out, took a bolo and
    killed boar in the pigpen. She laughed, then
    cried afterwards. When the men try to lift her
    up, she resisted and squirmed away from their
    touch and shrieked, saying “Don’t touch me!
    Pigs! Pigs! Pigs!”

    Literary Criticisms
     Psychoanalytic Approach

    The ego could no longer restrain the id. It


    results to the incestuous encounter of the
    character in the short story.
    Literary Criticisms
     Masculinity Approach

    The first and the middle part tells us about how


    the father and brother touched Inocencia, on
    how they acted after those encounters.

    How the boar was grunting hotly, impatiently


    nudging the uninterested sow.
    Literary Criticisms
     Feminist Approach

    At the end of the story, Inocencia was able to


    resist her father and brother when they tried to
    lift her up, accusing them of being pigs.

    She killed the large boar in the pigpen.
