The "carreta" (oxcart) in the title is a potent symbol. It represents the rustic, agrarian way of life that is being left behind—the traditions, the connection to the land, and the simplicity of the jíbaro (Puerto Rican peasant) existence. Marqués dramatizes the painful transition from a pastoral society to an industrial one, exploring themes of displacement, cultural erosion, and the loss of identity.
: The family (Doña Gabriela, Luis, Juanita, and Chaguito) prepares to leave their rural home in Puerto Rico. Don Chago, the grandfather, refuses to leave, symbolizing the deep-rooted connection to the land that the younger generations are abandoning.
