The 411 on the 55: Ursula is the matriarch of the family and lives through 90 percent of the novel. Her life is beautiful in her influence of her children, grand-children and so on. When she dies she actually shrinks down to the size of a child and is buried in a basket.
Line of the Day: “So this is what it’s like to be dead.” pg 342
Fact on the Fiction: “Perpetual motion could only exist in a world without time, which, for José Arcadio Buendía, is what the world becomes and, in a sense, is what time throughout the novel becomes: past, present and future often overlap. This overlapping of time allows José Arcadio Buendía to appear to his descendants in the form of a ghost, so that his presence will always be felt in Macondo.” Sparknotes
