Analysis: Literary devices in
Love and the Time of Cholera
Write a short essay:

How does Gabriel García Márquez’s use of metaphor, simile, and

symbolism contribute to the meaning and effect of Love in the Time of
Cholera? Use an example from the text for each of the three types of
literary devices (metaphor, simile, and symbolism) to support your
position. Be sure to explain what each example means and what
larger ideas it communicates. You may choose examples from the list
provided or search for your own in the novel.
