Character Relationships in Gutierritos

Ángel Gutiérrez (Gutierritos) (played by Rafael Banquells) is a protagonist in Gutierritos. Ángel is a kind, shy office employee who works hard for his family but is repeatedly mocked and humiliated by them and his coworkers. He secretly writes a book expressing his true feelings; after it becomes a bestseller, he lets his friend Jorge receive the credit. His attempts to reveal the truth are not believed. Rosa (played by Elvira Quintana) appears in Gutierritos. Rosa is Ángel’s wife, who despises and constantly humiliates him, regarding him as pathetic and good for nothing. She married him because she feared growing old alone. She has long felt unrequited love for Jorge, and when others praise him for Ángel’s writing, she berates Ángel even more. Jorge Contreras (played by Carlos Baena) appears in Gutierritos. Jorge is Ángel’s friend and his only moral support at the office. After reading Ángel’s secret manuscript, he urges him to publish it under a pseudonym. When Elena mistakenly believes Jorge wrote the book, he initially hesitates but ultimately allows the misunderstanding to continue, enjoying the fame and her love. Señor Martínez (played by Miguel Manzano) appears in Gutierritos. Señor Martínez is Ángel’s boss at the office. After hearing Rosa ask for “Gutierritos” when she calls, he adopts the nickname for Ángel, prompting other employees to do the same and adding to the ridicule Ángel faces. He later hires Elena, whose arrival brings her into contact with Jorge. Lucrecia (played by Elizabeth Dupeyrón) appears in Gutierritos. Lucrecia is one of Ángel and Rosa’s children. She does not respect her father, having grown up watching Rosa mistreat him and call him pathetic and good for nothing. The account identifies her as part of the family whose contempt compounds Ángel’s suffering, but gives no further individual actions for her. Elena (played by Adriana Roel) appears in Gutierritos. Elena is a beautiful young woman described as shy and insecure, whom Mr. Martínez hires at the office. She and Jorge fall in love and marry. After finding Ángel’s original writings, she mistakenly concludes that Jorge is the author, and her admiration for his supposed talent contributes to the deception surrounding Ángel’s book.
