Abstract

HERRERA MOLINA, Luis Carlos. GABRIEL GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ AND ETHICS IN ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE - II. Univ. philos. [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.65, pp.245-273. ISSN 0120-5323.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uph32-65.ggmc.

The second and final part of this collaboration shows and justifies how One Hundred Years of Solitude condenses an ethical approach -with vetero testamentary accent: sin/punishment- about the customs, habits, beliefs and own assessments of human action in the history of Macondo. This novel is a symbol of moral living not only in the region but in the whole world. An ethical matriarchy runs -in wretched solitude- as magma of fears and premonitions, stickler conscience and scandalous relaxation; murder, incest and lust; labor exploitation, injustice, dependency and extravagance, the irreversible slope of no longer have a second opportunity on earth.

Keywords : One Hundred Years of Solitude; Gabriel García Márquez; ethics; evil; ethical matriarchy.
