Context 'One of these days' Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Authorial choices
“Don't disdain your own experiences, especially your experiences in childhood. They can provide inspiration for your writing.", based on the evidence, it appears that the author gains his inspiration from his own experiences especially from his childhood.
Garica Marquez in “One of These Days” wrote about the conflicts between the middle class and the politicians.
Marquez mainly focuses on the reality of power and revenge. The story relates to advantages and disadvantages between middle class and politicians in sense of their power.
Marquez fundamentally concentrates on the truth of energy and retribution.
Themes
The mayor, who is trying to show his power from the beginning by threatening to shoot the dentist if he doesn't extract his tooth, the dentist, who is from a middle class and has no power, makes him suffer from pain to take revenge of corruption in the town.
The theme of the story is mainly about political power and corruption.
Another theme is revenge.
I believe the author has chosen these themes to portray what he felt in during his childhood.
Charactorisation
Aurelio's son is eleven years old and notifies Aurelio that the mayor has arrived and needs a tooth extracted.
The mayor appears somewhat sympathetic to Aurelio’s circumstances, yet he is ultimately portrayed as a corrupt politician.
Aurelio Escovar is an unlicensed dentist who is committed both to his work and to his political allegiances.
I think that the author has chosen the characters of his experiences in his childhood.
Setting
The story begins on the Monday morning and it might ends around the later afternoon time.
The author does not say anything particular about settings in the story. I think that Marquez uses the description of the place and the items stored there to symbolise the middle class.
The setting of “one of these days” is in some place in Colombia.
