Garcia Marquez takes a brothel; a place normally associated with dirty, degrading activities and glorifies it through the use of language. At Cervantes’ brothel, there are musicians who plan in an “enormous courtyard for dancing lit by lantern gourds bought in the Chinese bazaars of Paramaribo.” (Page 64) The atmosphere created by these words quite serene, the dancing…
