  5. Themes of the Motorcycle Diaries The youthful vitality of Guevara, the symbol and the person: Guevara’s charisma and his mythic status comes from his youthfulness, together with his daring and his purity. “This is not a story of incredible heroism.” youthful adventures veined with cheerfulness, humor and self-directed irony

  6. Themes of the Motorcycle Diaries The spirit of the dreamer experiencing an awakening; the near Quixotic scope of his consciousness: “The enormity of our endeavor escaped us in those moments, all we could see was the dust on the road ahead and ourselves on the bike, devouring kilometers in the flight northward.”

  7. Themes of the Motorcycle Diaries The awakening of conscience; the proletariat and humanitarian concern: “It is there, in the final moments, for people whose farthest horizon has always been tomorrow, that one comprehends the profound tragedy circumscribing the life of the proletariat the world over. In those dying eyes there is a submissive appeal for forgiveness and also, often, a desperate plea for consolation which is lost to the void, just as their body will soon be lost in the magnitude of the mystery surrounding us.”

  8. Our vocation, our true vocation, was to move for eternity along the roads and seas of the world. --Che Guevara
