What We Think

Pedro Páramo is as non-woke as they come. It's a mid-century literary ghost story, not an ideological treatise. Social issues are filtered through timeless human struggles rather than modern identity politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Pedro Páramo, published in 1955, is a classic of Mexican literature and doesn't feature forced representation or characters built solely around identity. The novel is squarely focused on atmospheric storytelling and existential themes rather than modern identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The book grapples with Catholicism, family, and rural Mexican life. It doesn’t try to subvert cultural foundations, but rather reflects and sometimes critiques them through a supernatural lens. There’s no attempt at updating or pathologizing traditional roles to modern tastes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s ample ambiguity and pluralism in perspectives, no simplistic villainizing of traditions or dissenters. The novel’s moral landscape is complex, more interested in human frailty than current ideological battles.
