The Characters of One Hundred Years of Solitude
Aureliano (III)
PAGE 27
The result of an incestuous relationship, he is born with the tail of a pig, fulfilling his great-great-great-great-grandmother Úrsula Iguarán's hereditary fear. Although his mother Amaranta Úrsula originally wants to name him Rodrigo, her nephew/his father Aureliano (II) names him after Colonel Aureliano. He was born strong and willful like the José Arcadios, with the open and clairvoyant eyes of the Aurelianos and predisposed to rejuvenate the line again because he is the only child in a century conceived out of love. However, Little Aureliano (III) fulfills another prophecy and is the last in the Buendía line.
