The paper examines what inspired the author to write this novel and shows how it can be read on various levels.

From the Paper:

"The way Garcia Marquez treats violence is also different from some writers. He finds fault with most works dealing with la violence because the authors forget that novels must deal with the living not the dead. They put violence first and the plot and characters second and lose sight of their goals. He says instead of being the main theme, violence should present a backdrop of fear and insecurity that weighs on the characters and impacts their actions (Bloom 137)."
