The Gospel According To Mark
The Spanish Christ
Baltasar Espinosa is Borges "Spanish Christ." The Gospel of Mark written by Jorge Luis Borges, is ironically connected to the life of our Christ. There are many cosmic ironies in this portrayal being made through Espinosa. The ripe age of 33; a beard; the eagerness to listen and obey; and the pet lamb are all ironic, seeing how they all relate and are some of the very same characteristics our Christ had.
Espinosa a medical student, is traveling to La Colorada in Argentina, at the age of 33. Christ was traveling to his death in Jerusalem, at the ripe age of 33. This is very odd, in that both will be the same age when they die. They both are older, and have seen most of all the ways of the world. This may or may not be significant to the role Espinosa plays with the Gutre's. Like Christ, his age is bringing him more and more respect. If he is any younger the Gutre's may reject him, due to the lack of years and wisdom. Age is experience.
