Pedro Páramo Section 8 Summary

  • It's raining again, but this time it's nighttime. It doesn't matter whether it's day or night, though; Pedro is always thinking about Susana.
  • He wakes up and hears people praying, and is invited to come say a rosary and pray for his dead grandfather—this explains why his mom needed black fabric: She is in mourning.
  • Pedro feels sad, though, and when he tells his mom this she puts out the candle and starts crying for hours.
