Aureliano Segundo
The twin of Aureliano Segundo and son of Santa Sofia de la Piedad and Arcadio. José Arcadio Segundo is a moralist with a hot temper. He is “marked with a tragic sign.” He sees a man executed when he is a child and cannot shake the concern that the smile on the man’s face was evidence that they buried him alive. He spends much of his life secluded in the laboratory, studying Melquiíades’ manuscripts.
