23. Nicolas and Jaime, Blanca's twin brothers, grow up to be totally different in every way. Nicolas, the devil-may-care adventurer, and Jaime, who follows which career?
From Quiz The House of the Spirits
Answer:
Physician
Nicolas tries all sorts of ridiculous business ventures which fail; he travels and learns how to dance flamenco, which he then teaches; he goes to India and returns, setting up an Institute for Union with Nothingness, which horrifies his father, now Senator Trueba, and in one bizarre event, causes Trueba to have a heart attack. When he recovers, he exiles Nicolas to North America, where he finally makes a fortune with another ashram-type academy.
Jaime, on the other hand, feels an overwhelming need to help people, so he studies to become a doctor. Sometimes too generous with his time, money, clothes, skills, Jaime becomes a much-loved uncle to young Alba. He also befriends Blanca's long-time love, Pedro Tercero, and he comes to like Alba's boyfriend, Miguel. He also is a good friend of the man who eventually becomes President of the country, and who replaces the government which Trueba has supported all his life.
Senator Trueba takes little interest in his children's activities, hence his astonishment at how all three turn out.
