In every influential refreshed, there ar clear denotations that apply certain aspects to the narrative to show importance of key aspects of the write up. In Juan Rulfos Pedro Paramo, the case is no different in that specific characters call for an importance to the entire aspect of the story. The characters in the novel that have outstanding importance are Juan Preciado and male parent Renteria. These two characters symbolize greater things that cannot effective be plainly noticed.

Also, Juan Preciado is same(p) that of the reader in that he is in no place to identify his position in his life or in the readers case, the story. Father Renteria is a character that the people of Comala look to for apprehension and forgiveness because he is the God like figure in the novel Pedro Paramo. The charact er Juan Preciado is the first character the reader comes upon while reading the novel. Juan Preciado is the parole of Pedro Paramo and has just come to the land of the dead otherwise known as Comala in the novel Pedro Paramo. I came to Comala because I had been told that my father, a man named Pedro Paramo, lived there (3). Juan Rulfo uses Juan Preciado in the same way the reader is unfamiliar with the text of the narrative. Juan Preciados relationship to Comala is the same to the readers relationship to the text for the reason being that the story is a journey in which both reader and character are incessantly off balance. Juan Preciado and the reader dont understand in the beginning that Comala is a town filled with dead souls but eventually, clues scrape up that lead to the conclusion that e... ...s. Father Renteria had lost all faith in his religion and himself. As if he had failed a test, he says, Alright Lord, you learn(26). Father Renteria represents the constant struggl e a person has to maintain in the flesh(predicate) integrity against outside corruption and personal vices which means that he is constantly tempted to do wrong things and sometimes falls for them. Juan Rulfo makes Father Renteria a requisite asset to Pedro Paramo because in Comala everyone is dead and they are all waiting to all receive forgiveness to go to heaven or take the resistance route and Father Renteria is a deciding factor for the people of Comala. To conclude, Juan Preciado and Father Renteria have significant roles in the novel Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo. They are required assets to the narrative in that Preciado is much like the reader and Renteria is the God like figure in Comala.
