As witnessed in this novel and through many other instances, our actions and decisions definitely affect us and those around us. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there; our actions and decisions also impact how we are seen in the eyes and opinions of others. This is unfortunate when one does not intentionally cause harm as Libertad did not intentionally kill all those people. However, due to this fact, she was convicted for murder and those around her felt the impact of her imprisonment as well.
