Conflict from "summary" of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
In that town where Úrsula Iguarán was born, conflicts were as common as the heat of the sun. They were woven into the very fabric of existence, like the threads of a tapestry that told the story of the Buendía family. Whether it was a clash between lovers or a feud between neighbors, the people of Macondo seemed to thrive on discord. It was as if they were unable to exist without some form of strife to occupy their minds and hearts. The conflicts in Macondo were not always loud and dramatic. Sometimes they simmered beneath the surface, like a pot of soup left to simmer on the stove. These quiet conflicts could be just as destructive as their more overt counterparts, eating away at the souls of those involved until there was nothing left but bitterness and resentment. The Buendía family itself was no stranger to conflict. From the moment José Arcadio Buendía founded the town of Macondo, his descendants seemed destined to be embroiled in one dispute after another. Whether it was a struggle for power, a fight over love, or a battle against fate itself, the Buendías could never seem to escape the clutches of conflict. Perhaps it was this very propensity for conflict that doomed the Buendía family to a cycle of repetition and despair. Each generation seemed doomed to repeat the mistakes of the one that came before, locked in a never-ending spiral of conflict and destruction. And yet, despite all their struggles and sorrows, the Buendías clung to the hope that someday, somehow, they might find a way to break free from the chains of conflict that bound them. But in the end, it was not conflict itself that destroyed the Buendía family, but their inability to transcend it. They were like prisoners trapped in a cell of their own making, unable to see the door that lay just beyond their reach. And so they continued to fight, to argue, to bicker and feud, until there was nothing left but the echoes of their own voices reverberating through the empty halls of their once-great house.
