In the book, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, on page 51, the text says, “Faustin Santos couldn’t understand why they were coming on a Monday and so early. They were still in their dark wedding suit. He was used to seeing them on Friday, a little later in their leather aprons for slaughtering. Faustin Santos thought they were so drunk that they had forgotten what time it was and the day too. He reminded them that today was Monday and Pablo Vicario says that everyone knows that.” In the first couples of sentence, Faustin Santos was talking until Pablo Vicario replies back in the last sentence. The Vicario twins came in early Monday in their black wedding suit when Faustin Santos were used to seeing them late Friday in their leather aprons for slaughtering. When the Vicario twin came early Monday, Faustin Santos thought they were drunk because Faustin Santos had thought they had forgotten the time and the day. Faustin Santos might had been a little confused with Pablo Vicario reply back knowing what day it was. Since the Vicario twin were in their dark wedding suit, it seem like they were ready to killed Santiago Nasar. There were no time for the Vicario twins to change into something comfortable. The black wedding suit represent death. The way Pablo Vicario already knew what day it was, it seems like Pablo Vicario had already set the day of Santiago Nasar's death.

The Vicario twins made a joke about cutting Santiago Nasar’s guts out. In the book, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, on page 59, the text says, “They came to sharpen their knives for the second time and once more shouted that they were going to cut Santiago Nasar’s gut out and he believed they were joking. He thought they were the same knives, but Clotilde Armenta noticed that they didn’t have the same determination as before.” In the text, Faustini Santos is talking and Clotilde Armenta saw and noticed the look of the Vicario twins. When the Vicario twins came back to sharpen their knives the second time, it only means that the knives wasn’t sharp enough for them or they needed another extra pair just in case the first one wasn’t sharp enough. They wanted the knives to cut thoroughly and clearly onto something. When Clotilde Armenta saw that they didn’t have the same determination look as before, she might have thought that the Vicario twins couldn’t go through with their plan and are having second thought in their mind. The look the Vicario twin had when they came in wasn’t something they would actually do. Also when the Vicario twins told the people in the shop that they were going to killed Santiago Nasar, the people thought that it was just a joke that isn’t really going to happen. So, the people in the shop only thought that the Vicario twins were just drunk because they were also drinking with them in the shop and talking nonsense.
Pablo Vicario himself wouldn’t have believed that he and his twin brother, Pedro Vicario, would have killed a person with a pig knife. In the book Chronicle of a Death Foretold, on page 69, the test says, “We’re going to killed Santiago Nasar,” he told him. My brother doesn’t remember it. “But even if I did remember, I wouldn’t have believed it,” he told me many times. “Who the fuck would even think that the twins would killed anyone, much less with a pig knife!” In the text, Pablo Vicario is talking. Pablo Vicario himself wouldn't had believed that his brother and him would killed Santiago Nasar, pretty much with a pig knife. The twins wouldn't have done anything like this. When the twins was interviewed for their crime, they couldn't believed that they actually killed Santiago Nasar with a pig knife. They thought it was a dream, but it turn out to be a reality. Even though the killing of Santiago Nasar were true or not, the Vicario twins might have been super drunk to not remember about any of these events.
Therefore, the whole town knew that the Vicario twins were drunk on the night of their sister, Angela Vicario’s wedding and thought they were only joking around, so they ignored the Vicario twins because they wasn’t in the right state to actually killed Santiago Nasar.
