self-conscious. Maintaining their reputations controls their lives. But, all of the characters end loosing something because of their addiction. Bernarda ended up loosing her youngest daughter, Adela; because she tried to break through Bernardas wrath and was caught and didnt want to suffer anymore. The Vicario brothers regained some family honor but ended up going to trial. Tajomaru got some self-pride but was captured by the police and probably ended up going to jail. Takehiko lost his life trying to keep what little honor he had left, but in this process he lost the privilege of being able to see his wife again. Takehikos wife lost the chance to be with her husband and killing him still didnt solve the fact that she was raped. So in the end being overly concerned about their reputations had negative consequences. There was a struggle in their lives then a significant loss....
