The narrative structure of One Hundred Years of Solitude is different. Marquez uses a continuous, interlocking and cyclic narrative structure to show the history of Macondo town. This interlocking structure appropriately expresses a theme of the novel: the loneliness and isolation of human beings, and the backwardness and extinction caused by loneliness and isolation. The author profoundly reveals the problem of "loneliness" with national characteristics. The founder of the town, He A Boontia, initially fled his hometown to escape the accusations of his family. He led 20 families to the seaside, and there was no way out, so he lived there and named this place "Macondo". Boontia rationally designed the layout of villages and towns for the whole village and led everyone to jointly build Macondo. Later, as gypsies, Arabs, people from all over Europe and Americans poured into this paradise, all kinds of "novelty" things also entered this newly developed town. Boontia is excited and fascinated by those novel things, and he constantly accepts new things. Unexpectedly, I was fascinated by constant "invention" and "exploration", and finally went crazy, tied by my family under a big tree and became a living dead. His second son, Aureliano, fought many battles, but in the end, his bloody battle with his comrades-in-arms was meaningless. After a long struggle, everything remained the same, and the tyrants left one after another. The government is openly treacherous, and some people in the Party have succumbed to their former political enemy, Nuo Nuo, for personal gain. Colonel Aureliano shut himself up in the workshop in despair to be a small goldfish, no longer concerned about the domestic situation, and finally died silently. His sister Amaranta was jealous of her mother's adopted daughter Rebecca. She first competed with Rebecca for the love of Italian businessman Pietro, and then when he proposed to Amaranta, she flatly refused him. Pietro could not bear the continuous blow and committed suicide in anger. Amaranta soon became Gorenel's fiancee again, but when he was ready to marry her, she firmly rejected him. She knits her shroud all day and takes it apart at night to kill time. After Rebecca and Bountya's eldest son got married, their lifestyle was disgusted by the villagers. After her husband was killed, Rebecca locked herself in the house and spent the rest of her life in isolation. For generations, the Buntia family "can recognize the unique and unmistakable lonely eyes of this family at a glance, although they have different looks, different skin colors, different temperaments and different bodies." The author used a lot of pen and ink to describe the loneliness caused by ignorance, backwardness, conservatism and lust, showing a sense of despair, indifference and alienation caused by being unable to control his own destiny. This lonely nationality has become the main obstacle to the progress of a nation or country.
The closed structure adopted in the novel leads to the interlacing and overlapping of time and space. The town of Macondo is a reality for the characters, a past for the narrator and a future for the prophet Melgar Des in the novel. Therefore, the past, present and future in the novel constitute a completely comfortable and metaphysical world. At the end of the novel, Melgar Des's manuscript was deciphered by the last member of the Buntia family. Readers can see that the story of the whole book is just a confirmation and reproduction of the parchment manuscript. This profound description reveals the interweaving of history and fantasy, the connection between reality and magic, and points out the true meaning of magical realism.
