"No man is an island." This famous quote explains the nature of man as a social being. It is indeed a fact that human beings cannot exist in isolation. They need to be interdependent on each other to survive. This interdependence is necessary because human beings alone are unable to satisfy their social needs, and their material needs also come from other men. All acts of society such as sex, love and addiction are essential for the survival of any species. Interaction and socialization are the only way to prevent people from isolating themselves, from living alone. The last words of One Hundred Years of Solitude are: The races condemned to one hundred years of solitude have not had a second chance on earth. These words are so powerful and amazing that one cannot doubt its truth. The book also aims to demonstrate that humans need to interact and socialize with others for their race to survive. Loneliness is one of the main themes of the book, as is evident from the title. Here solitude does not necessarily mean solitude; it is a fatal isolation in space or some neurotic obsession. It is the feeling of being separated from others. Examples of solitude can be found in the century-old life of Macondo and the Buendia family. It is both emotional and physical loneliness that is displayed geographically, romantically and individually. Each character has his own particular loneliness. It seems that the characters' intention is always to be alone, and there are also those who deliberately isolate themselves from society. These are the characters contrasted with others who fight loneliness by making strenuous efforts to reach out to others. This is not the case, however, the solitary characters of One Hundre...... middle of paper ......om. Fernanda is like a widow during her marriage to Aureliano Segundo because her husband loves his lovers over her. And perhaps those who have the most tragic fate are those who become fascinated by the beauty of Remedios the Beautiful and love her so much ever since, and die surprising deaths. Loneliness, be it any kind of loneliness, the book One Hundred Years of Solitude reminds us that people need interaction to survive. Even though the characters are not aware of the unfortunate fate that befell them, they showed their loneliness realistically and not as if by mere fate. This is why Márquez manages to convey to readers the consequences of closing oneself off or isolating oneself from others without the idea that this is not possible. Here Marquez manages to show even the simplest acts of solitude, and the unfortunate consequences that arise from them.
