One Hundred Years of Solitude,​ written by Gabriel García Márquez is a story that starts with an absence and ends with a disappearance. Through rounds of extinction and revival conducted by family members sharing the same names, everything built during these one hundred years was destroyed by hurricanes. This novel proposes another outcome of the concept of extinction and revival, that of the ultimate extinction. How do we interpret this narrative? Does the ending erase the process, and we return to square one? Or are there traces that have been left behind even after the disappearance? In this project, I apply rhetoric on the subject of gardening and dream interpretation to present a different perspective for looking at the story.
