I found it unusual however that Aureliano Segundo's affair with Petra Cortes was a source of prosperity to the extent that they were so rich they did not even know what to do with all the excess. Despite the fact this led to Aureliano Segundo's eventual downfall, it seems to me that Aureliano Segundo was still content after he had lost everything as he even stayed with Petra after the flood. Maybe this illustrates how the Buendias do not understand the concept of marriage? TSHAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046856708302515193noreply@blogger.com
