When presenting the motif of relationship between environment and individual’ survival,Márquez showed different geographical and times characteristics.In the modern society where rational thinking prevails,Márquez still emphasizes the influence of Latin American unique natural environment on individual behavior,habit,unstable psychological state and supernatural way of thinking.In his works,the relationship between the social environment and individual’ survival in the Caribbean region of Columbia is mainly manifested by the conflicts between them.Social environment rejects,restraints and oppresses individual with its strong inertia.At the same time,individuals also take different attitudes towards society: obedience,introspection or resistance.The reasons for the tension between environment and individual’s survival in their works need to be considered from two aspects: social environment and individual.The negative dimensions of the ancient Latin American social discourse system and the complex and chaotic political situation have led to a strong discourse power in the social environment,and the individual is in a state of aphasia in the face of society.The social psychological phenomenon of collective unconscious makes most of the individuals fall into the trap of conformity and become the unconscious defenders of the social environment.All these should be attributed to the autocracy and rigidity of social environment in Latin America.Lack of sympathy and sensibility is particularly evident in Latin Americans.Ignoring others’ life experience is the defect of individuals themselves.The indifference of individuals further worsened the relationship between them.M á rquez’s Latin American presentation of the theme of the relationship between environment and individual’ survival makes his works inheriting literature.The critique and reflection of the real life in Latin America show the profound connotation of the work.Finally,the writer put forward the belief of love as a feasible plan to mitigate the relationship between environment and individual tension,which increased the practical significance of the works.
