"Although "The Underdogs" and "One Hundred Years of Solitude" are very different works, they both contain the theme of revolution being pointless and cyclic. The authors Mariano Azuela and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, respectively, take different approaches in purveying their ideas. Mariano Azuela uses the form of a war novel, while Gabriel Garcia Marquez writes a novel which contains magical realism but nonetheless offers the same theme."
