Petra Cotes, the young woman in the selection from One Hundred Years Of Solitude, intrudes in the narrative and distracts the Segundo twins from their normal daily activities in the isolated village of Macondo. Aure

There are differences between the stories as well. In One Hundred Years of Solitude Petra Cotes is unaware that she is being violated, whereas Juliana, in "The Intruder", does. An issue arises here. If Juliana knew she was being used as an object to satisfy the desires of the two men, why didn't she attempt to leave? A reason, that further supports the explanation of the similarities in the story is, Juliana was not permitted, culturally, to react to the ill treatment she was receiving. Brotherly relationships are priority. The women are not important, as they are potential intruders into the brotherly love. Petra Cotes ultimately marries Aureliano Segundo whereas the Nilsens kill Juliana. Aureliano Segundo marries Petra because he tells her the truth and then respects her. These significant differences in the outcome of the tales influence their analysis. The stories could have resulted in the same manner if Aureliano Segundo and José Arcadio Segundo were closer and more rough and tough. It is safe to attribute the history of the Nilsen brothers and their cultural opinion of women to their choice to kill Juliana.

This provides a possibility that the women in Latin America at the time of the story were treated roughly and used by men. However, the way that Juliana was treated in relation to Latin American women can only be a reflection of the society at the time because life can only be a base for literature. The two men in the story are built up to be tough and rough cowboys but end up being weak as they succumb to their urges.

One morning Aureliano Segundo is really sick and he does not know why. A few days later José Arcadio Segundo becomes sick and tells Aureliano that Petra Cotes is disgusted with the "low-life sickness" he has given her and consequently refuses to see him. José Arcadio Segundo never finds out that his brother had shar
