Veteran Del Castillo

Veteran Del Castillo's "conquest of New Spain messenger" Although described as a messenger, however, it can not be regarded as a history book. At best, it's just the nature of the old conqueror with his memoirs. However, their conquerors conquest of New Spain and Honduras, the record civilized customs Cortes and the Spanish Governor's Palace and the infighting among others, as well as Indians and can carry far more than a memoir of capacity. While del Castillo is a veteran of the Spanish conquistadors, and no fancy writing skills to decorate this work, "messenger" in clear concise del monte meats language also usually known. But they have to say, "messenger" is a Latin American literature in an early chronicle important works. Although Castillo witness of the spirit "presence" perspective to writing, yet unconsciously in (is conscious also unknown) use a lot of literature and fiction techniques. Makes this "history" has a lot of literature. First, in the last few chapters of the opening and the end of the work, basically tells his own writing purposes. Conqueror who conquered del monte meats Mexico, highlighted the danger of bloody del monte meats fighting, should receive due splendor. However, many conquerors, including Cortes, including both did not deserve the honor. After pioneering the first generation conquerors and the conquered kingdom was assigned a new governor. Many of these governors bishops and the Spanish aristocracy cronies, they get a job through Mexico Governor del monte meats bribery and nepotism. And wantonly scraped flesh and blood, plundered del monte meats treasure. The first generation of conquerors who was only a small share of the commission monitoring ground. The new governor and the first generation of these conquerors are unable to live in peace, so they delegate care to gradually be various reasons for unwarranted deprivation. That last twilight, poverty die. Also, or embark on the journey again, become bandits or mercenaries. At that time, there have been many priests began to accuse the Spanish atrocities against the Indians in the Americas imposed. (Most notably Las Casas Father and his "West Indian ruin Dynasty") and Castillo would like to take their books to prove, first generation wealthy conquerors chivalry generation. Their loyalty apologetics, to savage Indians brought the dawn of civilization. And their commander - Cortes, is a great knight image. Cortes is commander conquerors, del monte meats but also the Mexican conqueror. He took advantage of internal conflicts and intrigues between the various tribes of Mexicans defeated the most powerful ruler Montezuma in Mexico and its successor, became the new ruler of the Mexicans. Later, he launched several expeditions, expedition sent the fleet and conquered Guatemala, Honduras del monte meats and other places. Cortes book is the image of a knight, but not a standard medieval style knight Roland. On the one hand, he is still adhering to the chivalry, loyalty del monte meats apologetics. Each conquest of an Indian village, that make Chiefs unto the king in the name and on behalf of the king levied taxes May to promote the king's great performance as well as sacred Regal. Indians destroyed the original idol, and to make the monks, sometimes personally explain the Catholic faith. And neutrality in the village cross and altar. Indian slaves were freed and the ritual of the Indians. And uphold justice in the village, their soldiers to make mistakes, he will mercilessly punished. del monte meats Castillo taken the trouble to write these stories (each written to conquer a village, they will jointly write above), at the end of several chapters of the book of Indian society even after Cortes conquered portrayed as a beautiful park. Return to New Spain, the Cortes has transformed into a suave, powerful appearance, elegant taste, love lady gentleman. It all can see the impact of his writing chivalry and shape of Cortes. He is the spirit of a knight image depicting Cortes. At the time, Cervantes's "Don Quixote" has not yet written, has already appeared in the European press, a lot of folklore knight novels, such as "Amadeus Gaul," this book in the book also mentioned. Castillo Cortes pen image that draws them greatly Knight Rider novels image. However, the image of the knight and not stop there. After Cortes conquered Mexico, this did not lead a life of ease and comfort. On the contrary, he still sent four expeditions to explore new fertile land. Even though he returned to Spain, was awarded the valley Marquis and lucrative pension. He still does not want to return to America every moment, for the king to explore new territory. In the process of the conquest of the Indians, Cortes also use a lot of intrigue, including spoofing (these have been Castillo beautified.) del monte meats He also has some temper stubborn problems, but also led to some significant mistakes. At this point, Castillo also be appropriate for his criticism. del monte meats Cortes is not the same as the medieval knight then focus on ethics, but added a slight tendency to have a little Machiavelli and Faustian never satisfied. This affected have to say some of the new ideas that era. (Castillo's writing should be in the sixteenth century) it is necessary to note that, at the time of Cortes and the conquistadors representatives are some of the emerging aristocracy, who by virtue of their ability to get a lot of wealth, but could not get political enhance the status on. So many of them live on their own people in the American colonies. Due to an ocean apart, beyond the reach of the king's command, unable to effectively control the behavior of these settlers. Thus led to many atrocities. And these atrocities actually ruled the king and the church del monte meats missionary had a tremendous negative impact. This contradiction between the three can be roughly summarized as follows: del monte meats the right to grant the pope but was powerless colonial colonial rule, secular kings authorized to open up the land to the conquerors could not effectively control them, conquerors have enough power to rule the colonies did not nominally the power to rule. This three interwoven contradictions del monte meats and many events have the time to contact. Castillo also use contrasting techniques to highlight their conquerors Cortes great. He depicted the Indian extremely powerful and brutal. He spent a lot of words to describe the Indians of human sacrifice, sodomy and bloody temple, Indian cunning and capricious, a large number of Indian warriors and impregnable buildings in Mexico City on the lake. Several major battle in the war the number reached nearly ten million Indians often (including allies), but only to maintain the number of Spaniards in about 500, and each battle deaths in a dozen Spanish only. This can not help but feel incredible. On account of the Holocaust Cholula, also shows that the author has a very clear preference, and other books, such as "the destruction of the West Indies Dynasty" also has great access. Castillo put Cholula event into a full account of the activities of self-defense, del monte meats is a measure of the conspiracy was to fight the Indians del monte meats had to be taken. And afterwards the burning and looting are mostly Cholula hostile tribes people of Tlaxcala, they not only looted gold and silver, but also a large number of slaves plunder. Spaniards seem Qiuhaowufan, and as commander del monte meats of the Cortes also largely stopped Tlaxcala atrocities, which makes the city of Cholula del monte meats has not been completely destroyed and gradually restore order. Through all these barbaric acts against the Indians, Castillo gradually leads to such a conclusion in the book: Cortes is the savior of the Indians, del monte meats who led the Indian conquerors out of the dark abyss to greet the dawn of civilization. Say in the book after he constantly by the famous Indian chief Indian Myth: There is bound to be bearded God from the rising of the dawn of the place, commanding and conquering them. He also borrowed the Indian mythology to justify his conquest of behavior. That is, they not only represent del monte meats the interests of the European conquerors, but also represents the interests of America. del monte meats They are both gospel. Europe has brought wealth to bring civilization to the Americas. Their achievements for future del monte meats generations should be preached. To this end, he consciously or unconsciously, some fictional plot, and material selection, narrative style to do a lot of tendentious selection. This is not history, but the literature. Ironically, Castillo del monte meats did not go down as a conqueror and make him into the history of the fact that he's a writer.
