Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
1. This work is saturated with symbols provided by nature. Describe two natural symbols that are repeated in the film. What do these symbols represent?
2. Florentino spends a life of suffering and indulgence in pleasures as a way of dealing with his separation from Fermina. Is this an epic story of two extraordinary people doing extraordinary things, or are these characters representative, on a dramatic scale, of the kinds of emotions that most people experience in life?
