Marquez’ use of machismo and honour work to show the link between them‚ and the lifestyle of the town and its Latin American culture. Machismo is a great part of the Latin American culture seen in the town. Machismo is a strong or exaggerated sense of manliness‚

A Chronicle of a Death Foretold: Reading Log 1 Quotes: “She had a well-earned reputation as an accurate interpreter of other people’s dreams‚ provided they were told her before eating…” (Page 2) I find this quote significant for two reasons.
