Pedro Paramo's characters represent Nietzsche's theory of the Übermensch because they embody the idea that they are superior, almost like God. The theory states that an Übermensch is an ideal man who transcends ordinary morals and values ​​set by society and that the actions of an Übermensch are inherently for the best, regardless of the actions. Pedro Paramo is a prominent character who portrays the theory while Juan Preciado is the foil who is just a normal, average human being. The difference between each of them is how they react to crimes. Pedro as well as his son, Miguel Paraml, both possess a strong sense of not feeling guilty for the crimes they have committed and therefore are not afraid of being punished because they can use their power or domination over the others. Characters such as Pedro Paramo or Miguel Paramo are depicted as the Übermensch because both characters feel "normal" after committing a terrible crime because they believe there is no higher power beyond two. Thus, they are able to assert any type of horrible, unjustified or brutal action without feeling remorse or responsibility. Pedro Paramo had two characters who had Übermensch qualities: Miguel and Pedro. Miguel was like his father, Pedro, as both were self-centered and did not care or show respect for others as they scared and destroyed the town and collected women as mere objects. But Pedro was a more salient representation of the Übermensch because he operates from a very cautious mental state. After his father's death, Pedro uses what happened to him to punish Comala. Pedro is very ruthless and can assert any type of unjustified action without feeling pain. He is ruthless and he murders those who come...... middle of paper ......m to hate the world and soon turn Media Luna into a desert. He is ready to continue his cruelty but he knows that it will eventually come back to him, it will cost him dearly and, above all, there will be consequences. The deaths that took place in his world ruined him, ruined his desire to feel emotions or change. Deaths in his childhood and adulthood made him indifferent to the emotions he felt. Ultimately, the father and son are truly portraying Nietzsche's theory of the Übermensch because they feel superior, almost as if they are God. Pedro has a revelation that all his actions have consequences, but he is indifferent to his emotions so he really doesn't care because of the deaths that ruined his sense of guilt or feeling anything. Additionally, both characters feel and possess a strong desire for gain, whether it be women or power..
