(Abstract) "The underlying principle for writing this thesis is to compare and contrast The House of the Spirits , written by the Isabel Allende, with One Hundred Years of Solitude , written by Gabriel García Márquez, in hopes of determining which of the two novels better establishes the "true" Latin American identity...in spite of the fact that The House of the Spirits is not intended to convey the "true" Latin American reality, but rather the Chilean reality, it will be argued that this novel, written by Isabel Allende, is the one that better establishes this idea."

(Abstract) "In The Autumn of the Patriarch, García Márquez presents the historic stagnation of Latin America. He also describes the underdevelopment in Latin America but offers no solutions. Since its independence, Latin America has worried about defining its future and its space in international politics; nevertheless, from the start, Latin America has had developmental problems...n The Autumn of the Patriarch, previous dictators are portrayed and dictatorships in other novels are referred to as well. We attempt to clarify the description of the mythical Latin-American monster: the dictator that García Márquez portrays in The Autumn of the Patriarch." Ed.D. Dissertation.

(Abstract) "This thesis argues that, fashion notwithstanding, archetype and myth provide the most compelling guide for analyzing two works by García Márquez--- One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera...the thesis emphasizes Campbell's idea that myth, a universal language, is inspired by the body's energies, a view in which lungs, heart, intestines, skin, and genitals are messengers carrying the answer to the question of human existence."
