Chronicle of a Death Foretold

"She got married with that illusion. Bayardo San Roman, for his part, must have got married with the illusion of buying happiness..." page 38

In the novel Chronicle of a Death Foretold, written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez this quote stuck out to me. it is in the scene where she tells her mother that she is not a virgin, which comes to a surprise to everyone that knows her. She says that she got married with the illusion that she was in fact a virgin and Bayardo San Roman would be the man to take her virginity away. Also, he would be getting married to the illusion that she would be happy with him. In a way he bought her love, except she doesn't even love him. Their relationship is based a lie, yet they are still going through with the wedding.
