It clearly depicted his works as we see a version of “Yerma” in which women

In the novel‚ Marquez has used his language skills to paint love as not always being a good thing. An example of this use can be found on the very first page‚ when Dr. Urbino compares the scent of cyanide to the fate of requited love. Now for some this may not mean anything‚ but later on the author writes that Doctor Urbino’s friend Jeremiah de Saint-Amour‚ who has died due to self-inflicted cyanide poisoning.

Marquez and O’Conner’s themes prove good versus evil when making judgement based on appearances
