From the passage leading to Colonel’s death, it can be seen his resemblance to the other characters of the book bearing his name. This passage deals with his withdrawal in a very obvious manner. “When he said it he did not raise his eyes from the first little fish of the day”. (Pg. 284) This quote clearly expresses colonel’s withdrawal from the civilization, and especially his own family. He is seen to be careless about all that happens in the world anymore and he definitely doesn’t seem to take Ursula, family, nor the guests important. He became very withdrawn that even his only companion, Jose Arcadio Segundo, would not hav

e been able to draw him “out of his confinement” (pg 282) Throughout the novel, the character of Colonel Aureliano Buendia is seen to have spectacular features, yet all are thrown away as he cannot connect with anyone in a deep level. “He did not remember that she was the one who in the delirium of that first meeting”. (Pg. 284) Without a structured and lasting memory, it only adds to the impact of not connecting with other people and furthers him into withdrawal.

In the other Aurelianos, one can see a similar lucid mind. In Aureliano Jose, he focuses his life on one person, Amaranta, for the entirety of his life. His actions either withdraw from her or aggressively try to take her. Aureliano Babilonia starts off with a very lucid mind, he was simply scared of doing anything and always secluded, especially after Amaranta Ursula left. He had lack of anything and stayed at home, learning an incomprehensible amount of information. Jose Arcadio Segundo as well took up the parchments and remained secluded and it’s very understandable why he does it, and he stays clear and his mind kept sound.
