Oh

I think One Hundred Years of Solitude, with all its focus on memory retention and memory loss, obsessive repitition of tasks, the “vice” of doing, undoing, then redoing a task endlessly for the rest of one’s life, superstition, and strong, often irrational avoidance of certain taboos, might be a story about living with OCD

My father took me outside the village

’“Good Lord,” she said to herself. “Now he looks like a man capable of anything”. He was.’

‘Amaranta put up no resistance, but when she kissed Rebeca good-bye she whispered in her ear: “Don’t get your hopes up. Even if they send me to the ends of the earth I’ll find some way of stopping you from getting married, even if I have to kill you.”'

“Amaranta, however, whose hardness of heart frightened her, whose concentrated bitterness made her bitter, suddenly became clear to her... as the most tender woman who had ever existed... and that the irrational fear that Amaranta had always had of her own tormented heart had triumphed at the end.” 

One Hundred Years of Solitude character #3 - Amaranta Buendía.

A complex, tortured, virginal soul, who at many points seems the antagonist, i always imagined her made of sharp triangular shapes.
