She believes in Olimpico even when he beats her, and even when Gloria has no real wisdom to offer, Macabea believes her suggestion and goes to Carlota. But we know a lot about Macabea's character from the plot. This paints the meaning of life in a fairly straightforward way, and any sensible person would ask Madame Carlota for their money back, because it seems so generic. The prophecy she receives from the santeria is this: that she will experience a cataclysmic reversal of fate, meaning the archetypal hottie, Hans, and that she will attain the wealth that it would take to free her from her restricted lifestyle. Then again, The Hour of the Starhas another theme in it the theme of story-telling as a tool to explore meaning, which the narrator details in the book's introduction. This interpretation is a post-modern understanding of the text, because it highlights the absurdity and meaninglessness of Macabea's hope, her search for joy and her desire to attain her destiny. Macabea's prophecy is false and meaningless, and her death is to be juxtaposed with that search for meaning. Well, the first way to understand the plot is literally.
