Of Love and Other Demons
I am not sure what I am supposed to be writing about, but I am going to be talking about the book, Of Love and Other Demons, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Having read the first chapter, I feel that this book is really sad and mysterious. I mean what author starts with an excerpt on corpse and growing of hair and how a girl gets bitten by a dog with rabies. Although the beginning of the book was a little creepy, it is sad because of the time era and having to do with the plague. Even though it was a little hard for me to understand some parts, I look forward to reading and finding out what happens throughout the book.

Well, what makes the book so creepy and mysterious? Is there a way to connect what we've read in class thus far with what takes place in the novel?
ReplyDeleteWell, what makes the book so creepy is that the book starts with telling the readers that there's a corpse that still has hair growing. What makes the book mysterious is the way Sierva Maria acts throughout the book. I mean why would she act like she has an illness? If she would be straight forward with her dad that she didn't want to go to Spain, it would have caused her less pain. Well so far, her hair being red symbolizes rebellious which she does act like when she starts to bark like a dog.
