i very highly doubt there was such intent in the writer, but if you can demonstrate (with texual examples) that this connections exist, please do so. that's thesis material but if you have the info at your fingertips please convey.

I think you greatly misunderstand my interpretations. I am not pretending to know the mind of the author, rather I am giving my own reflection and feeling and interpretation of the text standing alone as a piece of art, which is always open to interpretation by the audience. I was not trying to say that the motifs and symbolism I see in the text were necessarily Garcia-Marquez's intentions or implied meanings, rather like a piece of music those are the meanings that I personally get out of it. You must admit in reading it by itself and its own interpretation, that there is some merit to my perspective. If not, eh, but I appreciate your insight with the french puns, those are the kind of literary gems that literally get lost in translation
