Fuku's shadow looms over the Cabral family from "summary" of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz
The Cabral family has been haunted by a curse, a curse known as fuku. This curse has followed them through generations, bringing nothing but pain and suffering. It all started with Belicia Cabral, a young girl who unknowingly triggered the curse by rejecting a powerful man's advances. From that moment on, the Cabral family was doomed. The effects of the curse were felt by each member of the family, from Belicia herself to her son Oscar. Belicia faced hardships and heartbreak, struggling to find happiness in a world that seemed determined to keep it from her. Her son Oscar, a sensitive and intelligent young man, also felt the weight of the curse. He was an outcast, constantly ridiculed and belittled by those around him. Despite their best efforts to break free from the curse, the Cabral family could never quite escape its grasp. It followed them wherever they went, casting a dark shadow over their lives. Even when they thought they had finally found peace, the curse would rear its ugly head once again, reminding them of the pain and suffering it had caused. The fuku's shadow loomed over the Cabral family, a constant reminder of the curse that had plagued them for so long. It was a heavy burden to bear, one that seemed impossible to shake off. And as each generation of the Cabral family struggled to find happiness and fulfillment, the curse continued to cast its long shadow over their lives, a haunting presence that refused to be ignored.
