The story “The most Handsomest Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez was a story about how the discovery of Handsome drowned man changed the atmosphere of a group of people in a small community of 20 wooden houses who helped the drowned man. In the story it mentions “They noticed too that he bore his death with pride, for he did not have the lonely look of other drowned men who came out of the sea or that haggard, needy look of men who drowned in rivers. But only when they fnished cleaning him of did they become aware of the kind of man he was and it lef them breathless. Not only was he the tallest, strongest, most virile, and best built man they had ever seen, but even though they were looking at him there was no room for him in their imagination”. This quote shows that the village in where the drowned man appeared, the people were more than happy to help him but their village was not going to fit the drowned man because of his size and his appearance.
