Maybe for the moment, but Novinha is definitely relieved to have this off her shoulders. Besides, Ender ends up marrying her, so the children get a new father. This time, one who understands and cares for them.
Unfortunately for Miro and Ouanda, Ender also reveals that they do, in fact, have the same father. It\'s not entirely clear if they would have made it work, despite the taboos, but Miro\'s partial paralysis makes the point moot.
Ender doesn\'t hide the fact that Marcos is a wife-beater and a drunk. Card points out that the reason he hated this trope is because people, essentially, reinvent the deceased, which is partly a revenge move to erase who they really were. He specifically mentions a Portuguese woman at a funeral he attended wailing (as per custom) over her terrible (and cheating) husband\'s body, claiming he was a good husband. Essentially, she was punishing him by erasing him. Ender doesn\'t say that Marcos was a good man. He points out that he did have admirable qualities, even if they were overshadowed by being a complete asshole to everyone around him.
