macondo had to go

i touched on it before but i shall elaborate here. Macondo is a great town, its magical and was referred to as a sort of paradise with jose arcadio buendia being the divine figure head so to speak. We have also talked about how since the beginning there was a subtle but steady downfall. I talked about saddam and gamorrah before. Biblically speaking, Saddam and Gamorrah had reached such a point in its corruption and godlessness that the only option left was a total apocalyptic, divine destruction. I feel that Macondo by the end of the novel reached such a point of total corruption with zoological brothels and banana company massacres that the only option left was a total destruction. The ending hurricane can only describe what i am referring too. This is a common literary technique. having everyhign tin the storm like their eyes were watching god and romeo and juliet. But i feel this is a refference to biblical cities being created and destroyed. There is countless more to talk about ut i'll leave you with that. chew on it
