This might as well be cited as a reason for which there is so much gender discrimination‚ especially against women in Latin America. This matter for instance is clear from books such as Chronicles of a Death Foretold and Like Water for Chocolate. Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Laura Esquivel use imagery‚ motifs‚ connotations‚ magical realism and characterization to emphasize the perceived mediocrity and inferiority of women in a traditional Latin American Society through Marianismo.

In this essay I am going to talk about the Male Dominance in the Colombian society which kind of leads to suppression of women. The author of this book‚ Gabriel Garcia Marquez has indirectly depicted this aspect through the character or his friend Santiago Nasar. Not just Santiago but as well through the other character’s such as the Vicario brother’s. These characters show strong masculinity and also their

Maybe it was the time when this story took place‚ and maybe this was a way that Gabriel Garcia Marquez took a stand against people’s attitude against aging and being in love at any place in time. Maybe it was a way that this author brought a point that people at any age can fall in love again or regain a long lost love‚ as we have

This is best seen through the comparison of The Stranger‚ by Albert Camus‚ and Chronicle of a Death Foretold‚ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. In The Stranger‚ the main character exhibits an immense disregard for religion; coincidentally this person is very much alone in the novel. In Chronicle of a Death Foretold‚ the main character is an avid follower of his religion; and

A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings is a story that not only brings imaginary characters into play but also it combines imagination with events that we live everyday. For me‚ the background of the story is not unfamiliar at all‚ since the author Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born and raised in Colombia and I found most of the details of the story related to me when I used to live in South America.

A modern man may wonder “Why would a person want to live in isolation?” As outlandish the concept sounds‚ it can be a stirring experience that exposes one’s great potential. Gabriel García Márquez attempts to illustrate perspective of solitude with the Buendías in One Hundred Years of Solitude.

and Gabriel Garcia Marquez do not blatantly state their positions on the subject‚ but yet surreptitiously use a backdoor approach to disperse their message. In order to communicate the ridiculousness of religion both authors construct characters and events representing religious figures and beliefs.
