The reaction to one hundred years of solitude
One hundred years of solitude is written by Garcia Marquez,a famous writer born in Colombia. The novel is written by a child’s eyes.And Garcia Marquez has said that nothing really important has happen to him after his eight years.So there is some reader said that the fictional town Macondo is similar to the writer’s hometown. In fact ,I don’t know that,because I have never been to Marquez hometown.
One hundred years of solitude is the history of the isolated town Macondo and of one family named Bendia. For years the town has been no any contaction with the outside world.But the peace is broken one day.And the small town lost his innocent,solitary state.wars began ,lose of people died. The members of the buendia do lots of things during the change of the government,good or bad.And the war is ended with a peace treaty.
The book has cover more than one hundred years about the town Marcondo,and I guess this is one of the reason that why it called one hundred years of solitude.Most of the things is about the Buendias:born and death ,merry and divorce. THe most man of the buendias are wild.the women are unique,most of them have some special hobbits which I can’t understand.but there still is somebody is tenacious,the woman named Ursula Iguaran. She try her best to rebuild the greatness of her line,and she worked devotedly to keep the family together although it is very difficult. the power of modernity is devastating.the town and the family’s development is not good,they come to the end.the remaining members of buendia relieve themselves by thinking about their glory of the past.In the last scene of the book the last surviving Buendia member translates a set of ancient prophecies and find that all of this has been predicted:the village and its inhabitants have merely been living out a preordained cycle,great beauty and tragic sadness.
One of the themes of one hundred years of solitude is the way history repeats itself in cycles . In this novel,there is only a few names are gave.which means that the people are born in cycles.son has some nature of father,which is the most important.
The founder of Macondo, jose Buendia represents both great leadership and the innocence of the ancient world. But the end of him is not very good,he is mad. He tried his best his to build a machine that need no power to feed it but it can work all the time,all of us know that is impossible.And he believes that the world is repeating itself.there is a sentence that :Perpetual motion could only exist in a world that without time.this is what the buendia believes.
The change is began from ursula iguaran ,she found a way contact the world outside.At the beginning of the change,all the thing is very good.the town is richer and richer, and ten buendia is bigger. And there is some one special named Rebeca come to the family, nobody know that where are the girl from,she is a orphan girl adapt by the buendia, during she lived in the town Macondo,the people helped her changed lost bad hobbits, but then she can’t get to sleep, and the pian is delieved to everyone in the town.and their memory is get worse and worse,they use sign to remind themselves. Finally they were saved by a gypsy. although this is radicous ,but think this is the beginning of turn point.
