Every day teenagers face about 35,000 obstacles, and all of them affect an aspect in their lives. In modern lives, one obstacle may be getting through the school day without being teased, but in a concentration camp back in the 1940’s, it would be if they would make it through the day. This time period was called the Holocaust, and millions of people were killed in labor camps, and death camps. Some people might say that this was so long ago, and doesn’t really matter, because it doesn't affect our everyday lives. Well, maybe it doesn't now, but back then children were ripped away from their families with their goodbyes still locked away in their mouths, and murdered, just because they had different beliefs.

Márquez uses the character of Angela Vicario to show the power women can possess over the men in their lives. Angela Vicario is arguably the most powerful character in the novel, as she is the one who tells her brothers that it was Santiago who took her virginity, which consequently sets the entire plot of the story in motion.
