In Chronicle of a Death Foretold," how are Santiago Nasar and Christ similar?

The name Santiago means "saint". Nasar is a Semitic name and even though he is Arab, his name suggests a mideastern origin, like Jesus Since he is not thought of as a native Colombian, he is considered somewhat of an outcast, like Jesus.In addition, Santiago's death is foretold, just as Jesus foretold His own death. Most importantly, Santiago is an innocent victim killed not because he had sexual relations with a young girl, but because he was an outsider and therefore an easy target. Finally, like Jesus, the town sanctions his death because someone has to be the scapegoat and take the blame Angela Vicario's loss of virginity. Thus Santiago becomes what is known in literature as a Christ-figure.
