Más y Menos[1] is a minor antagonist in The Book of Life. They are a venomous, poisonous black and purple two-headed snake staff owned by Xibalba.
Role[]
Xibalba feared that Manolo Sánchez would succeed in marrying Maria, which will make him lose the bet he made with his wife La Muerte. So he brought to life his two-headed snake staff Más y Menos and tells it to make sure he wins the bet. They then bit María once in the leg, putting her in a trance.
Manolo then, in his deeply heartbroken and grief-stricken belief that Maria had died from the bite, became very easily manipulated into accepting Xibalba's deal to be with her in the afterlife. This resulted in Manolo being bitten twice (once by each head), killing him and transported him into the Land of the Remembered. Later in the film, when Manolo, Luis Sánchez and Carmen Sánchez reach the Land of the Forgotten, Manolo explains to La Muerte that Xibalba cheated with Más y Menos. La Muerte yelled Xibalba's name and he appears before La Muerte grabs the snake and turns it back into a staff.
Trivia[]
- Más y Menos bit Manolo Sánchez twice and Maria once, which is why Manolo died but Maria did not.
- Más y Menos are a part of Xibalba. [2]
