... It is a very bleak and depressing look into “One hundred years of solitude” by Gabriel Marquez. ... All the Jose Arcadios, for example, are assumed to have at least some of the qualities of the original Jose Arcadio Buendia (impulsive and forceful), and all the Aurelianos have something in common with Colonel Aureliano Buendia (tendency toward solitude and meditation). ... There are also repetitions of specific behaviors, for example, shutting oneself in a room for experiments or study, leaving them in solitude.
This leads into a final theme in this book: solitude. The word solitude is not only in the title of the book, but almost on every page. Armaranta shows this theme of solitude in this passage because she is refusing Pietro Crespi and condemning herself to solitude. I think in her own way, Armaranta is giving into this solitude, thinking that she is not good enough to have it any other way. Also, near the conclusion of this book, it says that “everything written on them (the parchments) was unrepeatable since time immemorial and forever more, because races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth.
