The appearance of biblical allusions in One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez has been noted by many critics. These allusions are not simply additional literary devices, but rather constitute a large part of the structure of the novel. Famed critic Harold Bloom even called the book "the Macondo Bible" (Bloom 1), an apt characterization given that the novel, throughout, contains sections that closely resemble the book of Genesis. - will add something to this. When Macondo first settled, Marquez described the world as being "so new that many things lacked names" (Marquez 1). Likewise, when the Lord created living things in Genesis, He brought them to Adam to give them a name, "and whatever name Adam gave to every living thing, that was his name” (Genesis 2:19 KJV). Since the world had truly just been created in Genesis, it is logical to think that almost all things actually lacked names. However, it is difficult to believe the same in the case of Macondo, since it was founded in the 1800s, at which time there were few if any things missing names. Thus, this passage from One Hundred Years of Solitude can be seen as a pointed attempt by Marquez to connect Macondo with the Garden of Eden. Macondo is described as a happy community where no one dies, just as the man in the Garden of Eden was led to do. be without death until Adam and Eve have eaten from the Tree of Knowledge and God says to them “for dust you are, and to dust you shall return” (Genesis 3:19 KJV). Likewise, the first death of a character linked to Macondo occurs only after Melquiades and his tribe have "exceeded the limits of human knowledge" (Marquez 38) and his death is reported by new gypsies who visit Macondo. Remedios la Belle, like. .... middle of paper ......varo, heeded the advice and "bought an eternal ticket on a train that never stopped traveling" (Marquez 403), meaning he never stopped, as the angels of Genesis advised Lot to do. do.Following this logic leads to the conclusion that Aureliano Babilonia is a parallel to Lot's wife, who was transformed into a pillar of salt after looking towards Sodom and Gomorrah. Aureliano Babilonia remained in Macondo thanks to the attraction of Amaranta Ursula and the memories of the Buendia family, which was then known by others only by the name of a few streets. Aureliano Babilonia is also the only member of the group of friends chosen by the Catalan booksellers – Alvaro, Alfonso, Gabriel, German and Aureliano himself – to die in the hurricane that enveloped Macondo, just as Lot's wife was the only person warned to flee who died. because of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
