... Another example in the book was the prediction of brainwashing. The truth is that today people are being brainwashed constantly and some times they don't even know it. For example people are always being brainwashed into buying a certain product by advertisements on the televisions or by subliminal messages.

... angel; an angel who was placed in a small, quiet simple town, for a good reason-- which was to have a married couple, Pelayo and Elisenda, profit and become wealthy as a result of his surreal presence. Garcia Marquez's use of both the earthly and the divine are quite interesting, because he uses the angel to convey both a spiritual presence as well as an earthly desire to live well in the real world, which in turn ultimately enriches the main characters in the story, Pelayo and Elisenda.
