    Footnote to Youth( Summary)
    By: Jose Garcia Villa
    Dodong is 17-year-old young boy who is impatiently waiting for his father to return home so that he
    can tell him of his love for Teang and his desire to marry her. He feels that at 17 he is a grown man
    and is ready for the next important step in his life. When he tells his father that he has asked
    Teang to marry him and wants his blessing, there is a long and cruel silence. His father asks if he
    must marry her because Dodong is very young. Dodong resents his father's question, and finally
    his father gives his consent.
    Nine months later, Dodong is waiting outside while Teang gives birth to their first son, Blas. He
    feels young and inexperienced, a contrast to how he felt nine months ago. Dodong did not want
    any more children, but they came anyway. For the next six years, Teang gave birth. Seven
    children in all. Teang did not complain. However, her body was now shapeless and thin from
    bearing so many children and from the hard work of caring for them and the household. Even
    though she loved Dodong, she cried and wished that she had not married so young. There had
    been another suitor, Lucio, who was nine years older than Dodong. She chose Dodong because
    he was so much younger. Lucio had married after she married Dodong, however, he was
    childless. She wonders if she had married Lucio, would she be childless? She feels that would
    have been a better lot in life. But she loves Dodong, even though life has made her old and ugly.
    One-night Dodong goes outside and thinks about his life. He wants to have the wisdom to know
    why life does not fulfill youth's dreams. Why does life forsake you after love? He never finds the
    answer. When Blas turns 18, he comes home and tell Dodong that he wants to marry Tena.

    Dodong at this time is only 36 years old, but he is portrayed as a much older man. Dodong does
    not want Blas to marry so young. He asks the same question his father asked him. Does Blas have
    to marry Tena? He does not want him to make the same mistake he did. Blas also reacts with
    resentment. Dodong realizes that he is dealing with Youth and Love, and they will triumph over this
    situation. After that, comes real life. He gives his consent, feeling sad and sorry for his son.
