One Hundred Years of Solitude | comment |
One Hundred Years of Solitude is a 1967 novel that won Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez the Nobel Prize for Literature. It's become a staple of Spanish-speaking high school curricula everywhere, mostly for being awesomely deep and so goddamn hard to understand. Arguably one of the most important pieces of literature written in the 20th century, or to put in context, almost as important as Don Quixote to Spanish speaking literature. Famous, among other things, for using every conceivable trope one could ever hope to fit in 28.8 oz of paper.The book follows the story of the BuendÃa family and the town they create, Macondo, from its foundation to its end. Of course, it is told in a non-linear fashion with every generation having the same few names, as well as the same basic attributes (except for a pair of twins whose names are thought to have been accidentally switched at some point). Alongside the story of the BuendÃa family, there are an abundance of vignettes recounting both the everyday and the supernatural occurrences that shape the lives of the inhabitants of Macondo. The themes range widely, incorporating legendary figures (such as the Wandering Jew), historical events (Sir Francis Drake’s bombing of Rioacha, the Massacre of the Banana growers), and short stories about the love of two minor characters who never get to interfere with the main action.Netflix has announced that it will be adapting the story into a television series. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism: Despite the constant fanatical happenings around Macondo, everyone looks at José Arcadio BuendÃa as a crank for believing he can make the Gypsies' inventions work and for his fantastical plans, and they turn out to be right about this skepticism. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: Aureliano Babilonia and Amaranta Úrsula were both raised to believe that Aureliano Babilonia was adopted, therefore thinking that being each other's Victorious Childhood Friends, screwing each other and having a child would have no harmful consequences.

One Hundred Years of Solitude / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: The Aurelianos and José Arcadios. Lampshaded by Úrsula more than once. Subverted with the Segundos. They each have some traits of their predecessors, but some are switched around, maybe due to the Twin Switch they perpetuated as children. Ultimately comes to full circle in the end, because like the other Amaranta before her, Amaranta Úrsula has an affair with her own nephew. The difference with her is that she didn't know her familial connection to her lover and that said affair went on long enough for her to bear a child from it. | |

One Hundred Years of Solitude / int_25c7875f | comment |
Practically Different Generations: José Arcadio is between sixteen-eighteen when Amaranta is born. He gets Pilar pregnant briefly after she was born, thus Arcadio and Amaranta were raised together. Meme and Amaranta Úrsula have an age difference of more or less twenty years, as Meme had already completed her studies when she had a son and he's roughly the same age (maybe older by two or three years) as Amaranta Úrsula, the two being raised together. | |

One Hundred Years of Solitude / int_396e1c2a | comment |
Face Death with Dignity: Gregorio Stevenson invokes this to Arcadio when Macondo is raided by the conservative army while he's imprisioned. Arcadio faces his death remarkably calmly, with the anxiety he's suffered his whole life fading away. However his last-second regret about not suggesting Remedios as a name for his daughter leads to him feeling fear again at the last moment. Colonel Aureliano faces his death by firing squad with dignity, though he ends up being saved in the end. | |

"Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization: Near the end, Aureliano Babilonia is unable to cope with his attraction to Amaranta Úrsula, who is his aunt and who he believes to be his sister, and rapes her while her husband is in the other room. She tries to fight him off at first, but ends up enjoying it so much that her feelings of love are transferred from her husband over to him. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mauricio Babilonia is a fan of Brutal Honesty, but can be somewhat sweeter when with Meme. It's mentioned that Meme starts falling more genuinely for him ones she deduces that his brusqueness towards her is, to a degree, his way to show tenderness. | |

Formerly Fat / Formerly Fit: After becoming wildly rich and successful, Aureliano Segundo balloons up from a svelte athlete to a fat glutton. When the rains begin, he finds himself with nothing to do but putter around the house repairing things and doing chores, and the exercise (plus the floods causing a forced diet) helps him slim down again. | |

Downer Ending: Amaranta Úrsula succumbs to Death by Childbirth. Hers and Aureliano Babilonia's child is left alone by his father in his grief and is ultimately eaten by ants. Aureliano, who has crossed the Despair Event Horizon already, sees his kid dead and then realizes this is the last clue to decipher MelquÃades's scripts. As he's reading them and uncovering all the secrets of Macondo and the BuendÃas (his true bond with Amaranta Úrsula included), Macondo is destroyed by a tornado and everyone dies. | |

Full-Circle Revolution: Emissaries suggest to Colonel Aureliano BuendÃa that he makes major concessions to the Conservatives like giving back land titles, ending the fight against the church and giving up on fighting for equal rights for illegitimate children, in order to make peace and gain popular support. Colonel Gerineldo Márquez objects because this would mean they would be just like the conservatives and would be fighting for nothing, but Aureliano accepts the terms, having become cynical and convinced they are just fighting for power and pride anyway. | |

Aureliano Babilonia is constantly reading books in MelquÃades' office and giving lectures to people about the injustices of history when he is a young child, impressing everyone. | |

Book Ends: In the beginning, a relative of José Arcadio and Úrsula (the son of the couple mentioned above) had been born with a pig's tail as a result of incest, which had led Úrsula to refuse to consummate her marriage in the first place. In the ending, Aureliano Babilonia (son of Meme BuendÃa with Mauricio Babilonia and hidden by Fernanda Del Carpio, Meme's mother, due to being an out-of-wedlock baby) falls in love with Amaranta, (daughter of Fernanda with her husband, Aureliano Segundo, making her Aureliano's aunt) and has a baby with her, who is born with a pig's tail. | |

Achievements in Ignorance: During the eating challenge between Aureliano Segundo and Camila "The Elephant" Sagastume, the latter reveals that her technique is based on "absolute tranquility of spirit"—she has no issues of conscience weighing on her heart and can thus eat without stopping. Towards the end of their challenge, Camila realizes that Aureliano has inadvertently stumbled on the same strategy, but in an unexpected way—he has such Lack of Empathy that his conscience is clear because he doesn't think of anyone or anything but himself and his own pleasures. | |

The last Aureliano has an affair with Amaranta Úrsula, believing he is adopted so they are not biologically related, without knowing he is actually her biological nephew. He does suspect there might be secret incest going on, except his idea is that they might be half siblings through Aureliano Segundo and Petra Cotes. | |

Dying Moment of Awesome: When the conservative forces attack Macondo, Arcadio allows Colonel Gregorio Stevenson to help defending the town, giving him a rifle with twenty cartridges. Stevenson defends the barracks by himself so efficiently, that the attackers believe it to be too well-defended and resort to blowing the place up with cannon fire. And he did it all in women's clothes! | |

You Can't Fight Fate | |
One Hundred Years of Solitude / int_7241785e | comment |
You Can't Fight Fate: The family's history was written from the beginning to the end by MelquÃades, thus they were damned from the start. However, his manuscripts were written in a hard to decipher way, only being read in full by Aureliano Babilonia. The book could have been named You Can't Fight Fate: The Book. | |

Bungled Suicide: Colonel Aureliano BuendÃa has his personal physician paint a target on his chest right over his heart, intending to shoot himself after the war ends. After he survives, it turns out the doctor was smart enough to paint the target in a spot where the bullet would miss every single vital organ. | |

Questionable Consent: Aureliano and Amaranta Úrsula's first sexual encounter has this, since the former came onto the latter forcefully and it was initially met with resistance. Amaranta does eventually give in, but the fact it has a "Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization just blurs things. There's also the fact that Amaranta still loved her husband when Aureliano pretty much sexually assaulted her. | |

In the Blood: Several traits are repeated through the generations, some could be considered to be in the name, such as the reflexivenesss and stoicism of the Aurelianos and the mad enterprising nature of the José Arcadios (switched with the twins). The whole family shares being prone to obsession and incest, as well as sabotaging their own work so as to have more work to do later, and, of course, every single family member is doomed to have a lonely life with a tragic ending. | |

Black Sheep: Arcadio is this to the BuendÃa Family. His resentment grew during his childhood due to being neglected by all of them except for MelquÃades, to the point that when he's told he doesn't deserve his last name, he proudly agrees, saying "I'm not a BuendÃa". This goes both ways, as his authoritarian ruling of Macondo during the war lead to Úrsula openly disowning him. | |

Loners Are Freaks: Most characters are loners in their own way, and freaky in their own way. The ones that are more obviously loners, such as the Hikikomoris, are also more obviously freaky (José Arcadio BuendÃa, Colonel Aureliano BuendÃa, et al.) | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Amaranta desperately hopes for something to delay Rebeca's wedding with Pietro Crespi so she won't feel she has to kill Rebeca. She gets her wish when Remedios dies, and she's horrified by it. | |

Relationship Sabotage: Amaranta does everything she can to sabotage Rebeca and Pietro Crespi's wedding, first convincing everyone to have the wedding in the new church which won't be build in years, and then taking the mothballs from her wedding dress so it will be eaten by moths. When the wedding is about to come anyway, she is at the point of resorting to killing Rebeca. | |

Strawman Has a Point | |
One Hundred Years of Solitude / int_bd9f9111 | comment |
Strawman Has a Point: In-universe example: when conservative Apolinar Moscote explains politics to Aureliano, he makes strawmen out of liberals' positions on many topics. The only topic he's not apathetic about, legal acceptance of illegitimate children, is something in which he agrees with the liberals. What makes Aureliano become a liberal, however, is watching the conservatives commit electoral fraud right afterwards. | |

One Hundred Years of Solitude / int_bef696dd | comment |
Mind Screw: The novel has a reputation for being particularly time-disorienting. In one page, events happen at such rate that they could have easily taken a month or a year to take place, and the book is littered with instances where the amount of events either condensate or expand, with no particular time frame to place them even with linearity. The only semblance of a time frame comes from the generations of the BuendÃa family, which of course, have years in between. When one is done reading it, it does feel like a century in events. | |

Empathic Environment: Arguably, Macondo reflects what the characters are going through: being mostly abandoned after the BuendÃa family had lost their glory, being full of life at the start of the novel, while the family had just settled in, etc. The BuendÃa house also reflects this strongly: going from the biggest house at the beginning to a decaying mess at the end. | |

But Rebeca is mentioned as being a relative of Úrsula, which would make her a cousin to her husband. Aureliano Babilonia thinks he's safe from this because he thinks he was adopted.

I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: The mermaids: "The great swamp in the west mingled with a boundless extension of water where there were soft-skinned cetaceans that had the head and torso of a woman, causing the ruination of sailors with the charm of their extraordinary breasts." | |

One Hundred Years of Solitude / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: When Aureliano Segundo searches for gold hidden by Úrsula, he asks Pilar Ternera (a future teller) for help. She can only say that the treasure does indeed exist and is buried somewhere within a 122 meter radius of Úrsula's bed, which happens to be the exact distance to the end of the backyard. This leads Aureliano Segundo to dig up the entire backyard, to no result. After Úrsula dies, the treasure is found buried right under her bed. | |

Quirky Town | |
One Hundred Years of Solitude / int_eb857152 | comment |
Quirky Town: Even without the BuendÃa family's interference, Macondo is pretty odd: it once rained for years, yellow flowers fell out of the sky after José Arcadio BuendÃa dies, the local brothel has a dog, etc. There are indications that the quirkiness isn't limited to Macondo. See, for example, the endless train journey mentioned near the end. | |

One Hundred Years of Solitude / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: Averted. Male names are passed down through family lines in every conceivable combination. If you don't have a superhuman short-term memory, you will need the family tree kindly provided by the publishers at the start of the book. It's part of a larger theme of history's cyclical nature. Notably, during the war Colonel Aureliano BuendÃa sires 17 sons… who are all named Aureliano. People resort to calling them by both their names and maternal surnames: Aureliano Triste, Aureliano Amador, et alii. The Colonel also had a child before, with Pilar Ternera. His name? Aureliano José. | |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: When Rebeca first appears, it's mentioned her baggage consists of "a small trunk, a little rocking chair with small hand-painted flowers, and a canvas sack which kept making a cloc-cloc-cloc sound, where she carried her parents' bones." | |

Creepy Child: Colonel Aureliano BuendÃa was one. He cried in his mom's womb, was born with his eyes open, predicted things as a kid and as a youngster... One of the 17 Aurelianos was also like this. He creeped out Úrsula and Amaranta when he came to meet them, walked around the house as if he had been born there, and asked them for a toy that he had never ever seen (and they didn't even remember) and somehow knew was there. | |

Creepy Twins: José Arcadio Segundo and Aureliano Segundo used to cultivate this image and pull Twin Switches as kids. Once, when their mom served them some lemonade, one of the kids tasted it and the other boy, who had not drank still, said it was unsweetened. Subverted, as they grow up to be Polar Opposite Twins (with José Arcadio Segundo as a taciturn Shell-Shocked Veteran and Arcadio Segundo as a Boisterous Bruiser) until their deaths. | |

Buried Alive: A man condemned to death by fire squad survives and it's implied that he'll be alive when they bury him. This traumatizes José Arcadio Segundo to the point where he leaves instrustions for his own head to be cut off before his burial, to make sure he is really dead. | |

Theme Naming | |
One Hundred Years of Solitude / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Lampshaded thoroughly, the characters themselves being aware of this. The José Arcadios are outgoing, stout and subject to a cruel, final fate. Aurelianos are more laid back, lonely and inquisitive. Played with in the third and fourth generations of the BuendÃa family. While Arcadio and Aureliano José each take after their fathers (José Arcadio and Aureliano, respectively), Arcadio's sons Aureliano Segundo and José Arcadio Segundo take on the opposite personalities from what their names indicate. See Twin Switch. | |

Brick Joke: The last of the 17 sons of Colonel Aureliano BuendiÂa being killed. The last member of the BuendÃa family is born with a pig's tail, just as Úrsula had feared, many years ago, and it spells doom for the entire town they founded. | |
