The Theme of Obsession in '100 Years of Solitude' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Obsession in One Hundred Years of Solitude <Tab/>Boy meets girl. Boy likes girl. Over time, boy and girl fall in love. Boy and girl get married and live happily ever after. This is the idealistic progression of 20th Century male/female relationships, a progression which Gabriel Garcia Marquez utterly rejects in the development of relationships in his novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude. Garcia Marquez created the novel as a
hurt and obsession does exist; hence, Garcia Marquez includes those truths in the novel. The pattern Garcia Marquez creates of obsession is exaggerated, yet sadly realistic and serves to enhance the overall effectiveness of the novel's purpose. Each instance illuminates new elements of the human experience and propels the novel into cyclical magnificence, all at Garcia Marquez's firm, artistic direction. ________________________________________________________________________ Bibliography Garcia Marquez, Gabriel.
