Family is a huge part of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. The only thing within this small town that you can really trust is your family. They are the only ones that understand you (at times) and they are the only truly accepting part of your life. diving deep into Garcia Marquez's perception of family within the story and how it affects the plot you can see the Buendias a little more clearly.
On page 43, The Buendias accept a little girl known as Rebecca into their family, which was not only generous but natural. By natural I mean that it is clearly seen throughout the rest of the living world and mammals; this is especially seen in primates. quoted from page 43 is this: "It did not take long for them to consider her another member of the family." This is everything a family should be; generous,and loving.
Garcia Marquez paints a flawless portrait of family in his book and there is a million more examples of family id love to cite within this book, such as the closeness, the supportive behavior and the interaction between them all. However, i think it is clear how important "family" is to the plot in this book already.
