Ok really really quick thought that came to me.
I'm sure we all thought of this so i am not claiming anyhting brilliant, but about the names. It is an interesting concept that certain people with certain traits had names of people with similar traits. But i thought about it and people didn't just have these names... that would be a coincidence and i just don't believe it. I believe that the names that these characters were given actually gave them the traits we see.
We see this with a whole bunch of characters. Marquez kind of alludes to this with arcadio segundo and aureliano segundo.
But what really got me and is got me to write this is is remedios the beauty. It would be so totally bizarre if it was a coincidence that they named her "the beauty" and she just happened to be the most beautiful girl in the entire world. i feel like the fact that Ursula named her remedios the beauty she made her to be the totally most beautiful and stuff.
and then she totally blew away

Totally blew away she did. Also remember that when Remedios' father was facing the firing squad he was thinking about what to name his children. Go back and reread this passage for some thoughts on naming.
