If you are one of them, you must have watched the 2021 released Disney animated film Encanto. In Encanto, Agustin Madrigal was a supporting character and the patriarchal head of the Madrigal family.
Agustin Madrigal was married to Julieta Madrigal and they had three children and is a very normal person in the family without any powers.
The names of children were Mirabel, Luisa, and Isabela. From the time when the Madrigal family shifted to Encanto, they were enjoying magical powers.
But Agustin Madrigal being an exceptionist is vulnerable to many. More of the time Juliet has to use her healing powers to assist him.
How Do Agustin Madrigal And Juliet Met?
So, Agustin Madrigal was a citizen of Encanto village, he was so vulnerable to accidents and mostly got injured and that is when he met Juliet. As she was the community healer.
Her work was to heal people through her magical sweets created with her magical powers. Agustin often gets injured and meets Juliet frequently, that’s how their love story sparks.
Abuela Alma, the mother of Juliet, was the head of this magical family and discriminates against family members who lacks in magical powers. She was also not in the favor of her marriage.
But the connection between Juliet and Agustin was so real and strong that belief in each other made the marriage work.
In the movie, it is shown that even after the marriage and having three kids, the bond between Agustin and his mother-in-law was not good.
Evolution of Character
This animated movie is beautifully written by Castro Smith and Bush. They showed the evolution of every character. Each family has some traditions, and the Madrigal family was one of them.
Before, the story developer team of the studio had different ideas for the movie; they wanted to plan Agustin Madrigal’s character as the leader of the family and also the person who erect the Casa Madrigal.
Although, the team thinks diversely and selects the duo of grandmother and granddaughter, i.e., Abuela Alma and Mirabel, for the lead character.
It attempts to challenge the social norms and incorporate more women in the movie as the lead character of the story.
So, after acknowledging the framework of the story and character evolution.
It looks like the character of Agustin Madrigal has gone through a lot of changes to be chosen as a leader of the family compared to a normal person.
Personality of Characters
There are various interesting characters in Encanto with different personalities. Agustin Madrigal and Mirabel are two of them. The whole family of Madrigal is gifted with magic, each member has a different special gift of magic.
Although, family members who were not rewarded with magical powers, like Agustin and Mirable, were not treated the same by few family members and feel estrange due to this fact.
Agustin Madrigal had three daughters and only one was powerless, and because of that Agustin used to console her. It doesn’t look natural that each member of the Madrigal family does not possess magical powers, only few are blessed with it.
One day, Mirabal saw a prognosis of the devastation of the family house, and when Agustin came to knowledge of it, he tried to protect it because he knew that his mother-in-law would only blame his daughter for it.
Austin and Julieta are shown so good as a couple who always stand by each other in hard times, and also support their daughter Mirabel.
The character of Mirable always thinks about why she is different, but she still stays happy and cheerful.
Alma’s behavior towards Mirabel was not very appreciative, which Agustin was aware of. He did not take a second to take a stand against Alma when the former asked for Bruno’s vision kept a secret by Agustin.
There was another side of Alma’s character, as a person who does not like Mirable and her personality. Agustin Madrigal knew about this fact, so she safeguarded her child when the prediction of house’s destruction came out loud.
After completing the movie and understanding the characters well, we can say that even Agustin Madrigal and Mirable are shown as powerless people. Although they kept the family first under challenging scenarios.
Physical Looks Of Characters
In Encanto movie, costume plays an important role in directing what power a character holds. As Agustin Madrigal had no power in the movie, he was shown that typical guy with tall qualities who wears glasses, a blue vest, a white suit, slick gray hair, and a skinny mustache.
After a brief observation of his clothes, your mind will attract his clothing pattern, which is a mix of three daughters’ dresses, i.e., Isabela, Louisa, and Mirabel.
