Luzia’s aunt tells her that “some people brought misery with them like weather.” What do you suppose she means? Do you think that’s true? Are there people in the novel that seem to bear this out?

Sure, some people have the ability to effect their surroundings and can effect the mood of the place. I think Victor is one of those people. He may be lucky for himself, but anyone who he comes in contact with who is a threat to him he crushes like a bug.
Fortun may be another. He seems to be able to manipulate peoples emotions with his ability and so he could fall into this category as well.

Without a doubt, some people seem to flourish in misery.
I believe it is easier to criticize and blame others for your misfortune. This is a universal theme in literature.
How a person reacts to misfortune is the story.
Similarly, the drama queens and the perpetually negative, lead less satisfying lives .

There are those who thrive on thinking of themselves as victims. "Poor me" becomes their mode of conversation. There are some who will let the world know if they are having a bad day, being centered on their own unfortunate circumstance, and taking that cloud of gloom wherever they go. There are unfortunately others who assess the challenges,fears or concerns some others have for the purpose of capitalizing on those fears from a power or financial aspect. All have the ability to generate their own storm clouds even on a sunny day.
