This story was chosen for this class as an introductory to literature by the professor for many reasons. “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World”, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez introduces the reader with a meaningful plot that catches the readers attention right as the story starts. The creation of imagery and feeling what the characters are describing are very prevalent in this story. Another aspect to why this may have been assigned to us is because of the moral lesson in the story. Throughout the plot, the little buys and woman all cater to and assist there man that has drowned, even if they found the whole situation a little strange. The story consists of “magical” or “unreal” moments in a sense because of the change in weather and environment felt by the women in the presence of the drowned man, who was described to be very bountiful. This story holds a deeper meaning in which it will be interesting to figure out what that is exactly using many of the strategies and techniques in English.
