Thought 8: In the Throes of Love

Hi all,

For our final week on 100 Years of Solitude, it’s all about love! Mainly, I talk about Amaranta and her sealed fate, the beautiful poverty-stricken love of Aureliano Segundo and Petra Cotes, and the wild passion of Aureliano and Amaranta Ursula.

Question: Is there a ‘purest form’ of love? Is one manner of love more desirable than another? If not, how do you justify Amaranta Ursula’s irreverence to controlling the ants, because of her passionate escapades, which results in the death of her son (and bloodline)?

See you all again soon,

Curtis HR
