This Sunday (Spanish name: Este Domingo) is a short novel of Jose Donoso written on 1966.The unnamed protagonist recalls his childhood days with his cousins in his grandparent’s Big Fancy House. Then, said grandparents take a more dominant role in the story, as certain aspects of the life of Alvaro and Chepa are revealed. Both Alvaro and Chepa have a failed marriage and immerse themselves in selfish existences, isolated from each other, each of them solely concerned with their own interests.Deadpan Snarker Alvaro is a Neat Freak old laywer who finds out that he has cancer. So he starts reminiscing about his teenage years about the Unresolved Sexual Tension with his maid Violeta. Meanwhile, charitable Cool Old Lady Chepa goes to a visit to the penitentiary, where she meets Maya, an unstable young murderer whom she starts having dark and hidden feelings for.

Tempting Fate: At one point, Old Alvaro complains that Mirella and her husband Fausto mistreat Violeta horribly and they are only waiting for her to die and take her heritance. But there is no way it could happen, because Violeta is strong and she will outlive them, right? Guess who dies horribly in the finale.

Title Drop: The family trips to the grandparents's house is every Sunday. Also, Chepa and Maya's first meeting was on Sunday. Old Violeta brings empanadas to the Vives house on Sunday. And Young Alvaro and Violeta's First Time was on a Sunday.

Green-Eyed Monster: Chepa does not take it well when she finds out that Maya had been doing the nasty with Violeta, because he sees her as a Replacement Goldfish. Basically, Chepa has a psychological need to have someone need her more than anyone else.

Motivational Lie: Young Violeta once cried, said she was in love with someone and hinted she might be pregnant. Noticing Alvaro's reaction, she tells her that she loves a boy from her hometown that vaguely resembles Alvaro and that she will be allright. Turns out that she genuinely loves her master and she was really pregnant with Bastard Bastard Mirella.

Am I Just a Toy to You?
 This Sunday / int_2661be23
comment
Am I Just a Toy to You?: Played with. Young Violeta sees herself as nothing but a sex toy and tool to her master Alvaro, because she is a maid and he is a middle-class boy and knows that nothing good would happen if they end up together in something more rather than Friends with Benefits. Also, Young Alvaro acknowledges this and repeateldy says to her that she is nothing but a maid and he is only in it for the sex. They still care greatly about each other even after they are old, though.

World of Symbolism: The Protagonist and his cousins create an imaginary world in the basement where they create heavily Flanderizations of the world of the adults. And Mariola Roncafort, the God-Mode Sue of that world is loosely based on Chepa.

Hidden Depths
 This Sunday / int_2dc0d2bf
comment
And Chepa and Violeta. Both are tidy and kind-hearted women who are apparently selfless but actually have some Hidden Depths about it. While Chepa might look like a kind charitable old lady, but she only does it out of sexual frustration and when she meets Maya, she discards the others immediately. And Old Violeta might look like a cheerful and mild cook, but she only does it because of Alvaro, and by extension, his family. Also, both are broken in the finale and they die horribly.

Downer Ending: Thanks to Alvaro’s lie to Maya, he enters into an uncontrollable fit and brutally kills Violeta in order to be sent to prison again. Chepa ends up traumatized and dies shortly after. Alvaro soon succumbs to his illness, the family members don’t stick around together anymore and the Protagonist can’t see his beloved cousins as much as before. Time passes, people change... and life, as it always does, goes on.

Kids Are Cruel: The Nightmare Fuel scene where Chepa goes looking for Maya in a poor immigrant street and ends up humiliated and traumatized by a gang of stray children. The scene is rather nightmarish, because the cruelty of those strays contrasts with the low-class children at the charity.

And he also plays chess with himself. The moment where the cousins are introduced, they are joking and laughing their asses off upon seeing Old Alvaro playing terribly the piano.

"Not So Different" Remark: The protagonist hates his grandfather for being a self-centered jerkass and claims that he will never be like him. In the finale, when he grows up, he has the same doesn't-give-a-shit personality. He even lampshades it. Only Known By His Nickname: Chepa’s real name is Josefina Rosas, but nobody calls her that way.

Parental Neglect
 This Sunday / int_a54534a0
comment
Parental Neglect: The Protagonist’s parents would regularly neglect him, letting him do whatever he wanted even though he was only six years old. The other cousins’ parents might be this as well; it's never exactly made clear. Also, Chepa prefers to do charity and spend time with poor people rather than her daughters when they were young, hence why they resent her.

Inferiority Superiority Complex
 This Sunday / int_a7ba94de
comment
Inferiority Superiority Complex: One of Alvaro's issues. Basically, he feels inferior to the high-class girls he is attracted to and he had intercourse with Violeta in the first place because she is a low-class girl and a maid, so she is lower than him and Alvaro can be strong enough. In his First Time with Chepa, he was almost impotent, feeling himself to be inferior, but after fantazinig he was doing it with Violeta, he sees Chepa in bed as an equal and does it.

Trademark Favorite Food: Young Alvaro liked empanadas prepared by Maid and Supreme Chef Violeta. Played with, as it is revealed later that he only liked the empanadas because their smell reminds him of Violeta's skin.

Mirror Character
 This Sunday / int_ba5bbda5
comment
Mirror Character: Maya and Alvaro. Both are neat freaks with an Inferiority Superiority Complex and he is afraid of losing his identity to Chepa. And Chepa and Violeta. Both are tidy and kind-hearted women who are apparently selfless but actually have some Hidden Depths about it. While Chepa might look like a kind charitable old lady, but she only does it out of sexual frustration and when she meets Maya, she discards the others immediately. And Old Violeta might look like a cheerful and mild cook, but she only does it because of Alvaro, and by extension, his family. Also, both are broken in the finale and they die horribly.

Innocence Lost
 This Sunday / int_c9a71d47
comment
Innocence Lost: Chepa's concept about the people in poverty is ruined after she is horribly assaulted by a bunch of stray kids in a Nightmare Fuel scene. In a smaller case, the Protagonist runs into his parents doing....things. He proceeds to tell this to his cousins, but they already knew about such things. They even lampshade this trope.

Jerkass: Alvaro, oh so much. His own family doesn't like him, including his grandchildren, or his own wife. Even in the end, after he is revealed to be the cause of Violeta's gruesome death and Chepa's Despair Event Horizon, he only seems to care about his terminal illness. Not to mention his treating of Violeta (assuring that he is only with her for the sex and she is just a maid, not to mention his Inferiority Superiority Complex regarding her). Jerk with a Heart of Gold: We find out later that she's the only one who he does give a damn about. Even Chepa admits that Alvaro genuinely smiles when Violeta is around.
