While Matute’s point is not clear at the beginning, reading in context of the title helps reveal the argument. de la juventud a través del simbolismo físico En el cuento Pecado de omisión, escrito por Ana María Matute, el narrador relata la historia de Lope, un huérfano que trabaja para Emeterio, el primo de su padre difunto. Lope’s sin of commission (murder) is contrasted with his uncle’s sin of omission (forcing Lope to be his worker for life). Por cinco años, Emeterio solamente le da a Lope la comida, el trabajo, y el refugio. One short story I’ve revisited is Pecado de omission (Sin of Omission) by Ana Maria Matute. The title speaks out that the reader ought to focus on the sin of omission because the sin of commission sprang from that first sin. The story is of a young orphan taken under wing by his uncaring uncle who makes him work as a shepherd. Over the years Lope becomes no more than a slave and a beast of burden to his uncle. While Matute might not actually be saying Lope’s murder wasn’t worse than the uncle’s sin, she is certainly directing the reader to the gravity of damning a child’s progress.
