Yes, I was surprised by Don Anselmo's response in his meetings with the narrator. His calm demeanor and willingness to engage in a thoughtful discussion about the land, despite the pressure to sell, reveal a deep sense of integrity and connection to his heritage. This unexpected perspective highlights the complexities of human values and the importance of land beyond mere financial transactions. It underscores the theme of personal versus societal expectations in the narrative.
