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.

第二篇:The comment of One Hundred Years of Solitude
The comment of One Hundred Years of Solitude When I finish reading the novel ,I meet many question.For instance ,what the significance of our life?How to get rid of human’s solitude?In order to make out this problem,I go out for a walk for a long time.I look at the sky and can’t tell the time;however,I think it is very lucky to drop all the bad feeling which from the book,having the happiness of escaping the alarming recall.The deepest impression the book give me is the Buendia’s solitude.The solitude is the representation of this family.For example the member of this family has the impulse of adventuring and brave ,decent.At the same time they also have the desire for the future.The kind of solitude is different from the classical gloomy like the Italy businessman Antonia.It is not in the madnificent castle ,sighing for the short period of our life,the decade of the rose,the sight of the angel which connecting with the change of the history.It is the pressure which are given by the crucial society which can not be lessen by their effort.
One Hundred Years of Solitude, the world-famous
Latin-American masterpiece, has absorbed as comprehensive as possible attentions around the world. Although there are numberless works and articles study the novel from different perspectives, there is still lack a systematic interpretation in the light of allegory theory. That is this article’s assignment. Allegory theory has developed rapidly from the early 1900s. The concept of "allegory" now becomes an important category
Magic realism, as one of the literature schools, is formed and developed in modern Latin America. Its characteristics are that reality is described in detail and objectively in a magical environment and atmosphere. That is, to put a bizarre and magical cloak on the reality, but never damage the nature of reality. These works, with novel and grotesque art style, has drawn a wide attention of international literary world, and won the world reputation for the Latin American literature.
One Hundred Years of Solitude, taking as its subject matter the tropical town Macondo and its construction, development, culmination and
disappearing in the hurricane during a historical period of over a hundred years, is a renowned work of magic realism written in Spanish by the Columbian writer Garcia Marquez, describing the legendary and hard experience of seven generations of the Buendia clan. This work, characterized by sophisticated content, numerous characters, weird plot and novel technique, "gathers unimaginable miracles and most pure real life" and stands out in the "Exploding" literature in Latin America where one after another super writers and master pieces of art appear, and has produced far reaching influence worldwide.Observing from writing methods, if realism is a mirror of the society, then magic realism under Marquez’s pen is like a distortion one, which is veiled but indirectly mirrors the cruel life of the actual world through its magic reflection. And in his work One Hundred Years of Solitude, Marquez combines such images and ideas as reality and delusion, realism and exaggeration, reality and absurdity, symbolism and metaphor, seriousness and sarcasm, man and ghost in the artistic way of
typical magic realism, thus reflects such social reality of Latin-America as poor and backward, ignorant and barbarous, isolated from the outside world, which will necessarily lead to be rooted out as its destiny.Like other writers agitated by "Latin American consciousness", solitude has also been the theme of Marquez’s writings. Solitude is a sort of unavoidable experience in anyone’s actual life, which means separation between people and isolation from the outside world. Solitude is like a great labyrinth. The cherishment and disillusionment of Buendia clan in a century in One Hundred Years of Solitude mirrors the downfall and struggle and defeat and fight of the Latin-American people in solitude, and uncovers the answer of the riddle—loss of love resulting in the tragedy of society and life. Thereby Marquez finds out that solitude is the cause of Latin-America’s backwardness, and points out that love and unity is the right way to finish solitude.This paper is divided into three chapters. The first chapter introduces the real picture of Latin American society, colonized
history and mixed cultural structures as the background of magic realist origin, and development of magic realism and the writing rule of "changing the reality into imagination but losing nothing of reality". It also writes how formed and manifested is the theme "solitude" in Marquez’s work, and what features of solitude and essence are shown in one hundred years of solitude in the mirror of magic. The second chapter, the center of the whole paper, tries to interpret from the text analysis viewpoint the century-old labyrinth of the clan. The first section dictates the life forms in the Buendia clan, how is the clan created and existed in Macondo and its rise and fall during more than a century. This section shows these connotation in a special way, souls and forms of life and death of a variety become different carrier of solitude; The second section probes the inner cause resulting in the solitude of Buendia clan as: inertia and stagnation from weird circulation, which finally results in Macondo’s backwardness and inability to advance or development; the aggression of outside
civilization and economy breaks the happiness and tranquil of Macondo, leading it to short and miraculous flourish and quick fall, the following social disorder and catastrophe leaves Macondo in an inextricable solitude; the transformation of humanity, distortion of personality and loss of faith caused by religious colonization leaves Macondo in vacancy of spiritual support in the cold world and loss of self in the turbulences and bustling. Having fought to get rid of the past but been deliberately refused, Macondo walks to its necessary destiny; one after another wars have not brought rise or freedom for Macondo, neither have they changed dictatorship or monarchy, instead, they brought double fetters of war and despotism. And such turbulences brought by the wars implied the resulting solitude and isolation. The third section analyzes solitude due to performance of literature techniques. Ways of narration imply potential of solitude: cycling method in the work structure, narrative perspectives and sentence patterns shapes a sense of repetition and closeness, showing tacitly
the embodiment of this century-old clan, revealing the theme of solitude of the work, and shows the great changes in Macondo and even the whole Latin-America; such rhetoric methods as symbolization, metaphor and alienation derives a sense of solitude; the amnesia suffered in Macondo reveals solitude from the existing nothingness: being without memory equals death. And the third chapter searches for the key for cracking the century-old clan’s labyrinth of solitude: love and unity. The author writes that solitude is the cause of ignorance and backwardness, in the meantime, he discloses the potential power hidden in the Latin-American people, and thus enough to confront solitude and death. This consists his true intention for this writing.
