    URUGUAY: THE HORSE BREAKER,

    JAVIER de VIANA
    PLOT OF THE LITERARY TEXT
    EXPOSITION
    Sabiniano Fernandez is a well-known master horse-
    breaker, as well as a master of both animals and people. He is
    well-known for being wealthy, having a large plot of property
    and an unrivalled string of horses. He was also noted for his
    arrogance and domineering temperament. Nonetheless,
    because of his outstanding reputation he was hired by a ranch
    owner to break in the fifty unbroken colts.
    RISING ACTION

    Blasa, the ranch owner's daughter, a pretty little brunette,


    conceited, a typical rich girl, became interested to Sabiniano,
    who represented a conquest that would fill her pride.
    Sabiniano, on the other hand, appears to be uninterested in
    her, despite which she continues to pursue him. Sabiniano's
    indifference irritated Blasa, who became enraged even
    though she was impressed on how Sabiniano break in her
    colt.
    RISING ACTION

    At the dinner, she exclaimed with contempt that between a colt


    and a horse-breaker, the bigger brute wins, but Sabiniano
    answered with an unusual sweet tone, and said “to be able to
    master, one must first know how to master himself”. Sabiniano
    announced his departure two months later, when the herd had
    been broken in. There was a fiesta in the ranch the day after his
    departure. Blasa approached him with unexpected politeness and
    requested a dance, but Sabiniano politely declined. Blasa once
    again feel rejected.
    CLIMAX

    Blasa made an angry gesture for being rejected


    again, but she kept her cool like an obedient woman
    and verified to see whether Sabiniano would truly
    leave. After Sabiniano confirms it, she is unable to
    contain her emotions, prompting her to proclaim her
    love for him.
    FALLING ACTION

    Sabiniano acknowledged Blasa's confession,


    admitting that he had known about her feelings for as
    long as she had known about his affections for her. He
    also complimented her on how restrained and mastered
    she is, saying he preferred her that way than an unruly
    mare.
    RESOLUTION

    Blasa completely submitted to Sabiniano,


    much like a well-trained mare.
