Plot itself - The narrative outlines the events surrounding the murder of Santiago Nasar, a young man who is thought to have taken the virginity
of Angela Vicario.

- On her wedding night, after discovering that she was not a virgin, Angela's husband, Bayardo San Roman, returns her to her house.

,- Angela's twin brothers, Pedro Vicario and Pablo Vicario, ask her who took her virginity, and she tells them that Santiago Nasar did.
The brothers find Santiago and kill him.

- The narrative is non-linear.

- The day that Santiago is murdered was a significant day in town because the Bishop was coming by boat to bless the marriage of
Angela Vicario and Bayardo San Roman. Many people were heading over to the dock to see the boats. Pedro and Pablo Vicario were
sitting in the local milk-shop watching over Santiago, getting ready to kill him.

- The narrator's sister learns that Angela Vicario was returned home on the night of her wedding.

- The night before the murder, there had been lots of wedding revelry that had continued into the early morning at a local
whorehouse run by Maria Alejandrina Cervantes, where Santiago Nasar had been carousing with the twins and the narrator until
early in the morning.

- After returning home and finding their sister in disgrace, the Vicario brothers set out to avenge her honor by murdering Santiago
Nasar.

- Even though they repeatedly announced their intent to murder him, the butcher, the police officer, and the Colonel all thought that
the Vicarios are largely bluffing. Clothilde Armenta, the proprietor of the milk shop, even told the local priest about what the Vicario
twins were threatening to do. However, in the excitement surrounding the arrival of the bishop, he forgot about her warning.

- After the murder, the entire Vicario family left town because of the disgrace the combination of events had brought upon their
family.

- A week after the murder, Bayardo San Roman left with his family; they came and retrieved him by boat.

- The Vicario brothers were imprisoned for three years.

- After their release from prison, Pablo proceeded to marry his betrothed, Prudencia Cotes, and Pedro went back into the armed
forces.

- After Bayardo returned Angela to her home on their wedding night, she fell in love with him. After she moved away from the town

, where she was disgraced, she wrote him letters every week for seventeen years, and eventually he returned to her.
