One Hundred Years of Solitude

…

…seclude herself romantically. Though men proposed, she refused, and she remained alone until the day she died. Solitude, whether it be perceived or real, individual or collective, physical or emotional, condemns a race to self-destruction. Garcia Marquez illustrates that point in every aspect of One Hundred Years of Solitude, letting the reader walk away with the realization that all acts society, such as sex, love, and dependence are essential for the survival of any species.
