The words and phrases that the author uses describing the motives of Juvencio, when he killed Don Lupe, reveals that Juvencio has no remorse for what he did because it was not for personal reasons. It was for "business reasons." This sounds ironic because, in the end, he killed, but deep in Juvencio´s mind there is a difference between personal reasons and a decision that is forced for "business purposes."
Juvencio says DonLuped did not allow him to pasture his animals in Don Lupe's field. And that was necessary for the animals to survive and feed Juvencio.
Mexican writer Juan Rulfo is the author of the story "Tell Them Not to Kill Me."
