The occasion is the annual bullfighting festival, at which two matador s one an acclaimed hero of the sport, the other a scrapping contender are prepared to fight to the death for fame and glory. Through the memories of the book s narrator, Norman Clay, an United States American journalist of Spain Spanish and Indigenous peoples of the Americas Indian descent, Michener provides plenty of historical background, including a depiction of the gruesome human sacrifice s that took place hundreds of years before on the city s periphery. The story focuses on bullfighting, but also provides great insight into Mexican culture. The reader follows the bulls from their breeding to their sorting to the pageantry and spectacle of the bullring , where picadors and banderilleros prepare the bull for the entrance of the matador with his red cape.

It is different from the cape used by the Torero Matador matador earlier in the fight capote de brega . The muleta obscures the Estoc sword , and as in his earlier work with the cape, the bullfighter uses it to attract the Spanish Fighting Bull bull in a series of passes, demonstrating his control over it. The red color of the muleta is actually unnecessary, though, as bulls are Color blindness Dichromacy dichromatic , meaning neither the cape nor the muleta color can be accurately discerned by the bull. The color is retained merely for tradition and to make the bloodstains less visible. There are a number of distinct styles of pass, each with its own name. With the cape, for instance, the ver nica is a pass in which the matador slowly swings the cape away from the charging bull while keeping his feet in the same position. The faena is the final series of passes before the kill, in which the matador uses the muleta to manoeuvre the bull into a position to stab it between the shoulders, cutting the aorta. If this fails he must then cut the bull s spinal cord with a second sword, killing it instantly. The task of killing the bull is given to the matador alone his title means literally killer .
