Reflection on Chronicles of a Death Foretold

Reflection The cultural and historical context of Marquez life played an consequential role in his novel Chronicles of a wipeout Foretold. In the 16th century, Spain colonized many parts of South America and replaced the native religion with Catholicism. man the indigenous cultural practices celebrated openness about sexuality the orthodox Catholic ideals of chastity and purity that penetrated into the local tradition during colonization.The archaic perception of accolade was founded on the grounds of the Catholic ideals and it promoted gender inequality and organized crime cultures promoted violence. Marquez offers a critique of the religious system when he describes the arrival of the Bishop who is representative of the tycoon of the Church. In preparation of the Bishops arrival the town prepared many cocks which are rather a physical offering to the Church rather than a spiritual offering.The states inability to act upon the Vicarios brothers action is a Marquezs critique of the decadence of the Old Christian value system. Father Amador does not condemn the Vicario brothers for their actions but instead he says that they are forgiven on the bases of acting to avenge their sisters honour. The mayor is as well as unable to take action and he simply takes away their knives. We also explored the influence of Marquezs life on his style of writing.The influence of Marquezs grannie on his style of realism was also explored. Marquezs grandmothers way of telling unlikely stories as if they were facts influenced his style in Chronicles of a Death Foretold. The murder of Santiago Nasar remains a complete mystery until the end of the novel and the episodes that unfold in the story seem extremely unlikely as yet the death was accepted by the reader because of factual tone in which it was told.
