I think that this book could relate to our essential question and what we have been discussing all year about invisibility. I feel that in a way Florentino Ariza, doesn't quite feel invisible to the world, but he does however feel that way towards Fermina Daza after she lost her interest in him. Though she lost the spark for him, he never let go of the desire for her. Try as he might, he always lost to her husband. I'm sure his heart and confidence were shattered when he was rejected after such a long time of them being apart. I'm sure trying to win her back only proved more and more to be a lost cause because she stopped noticing him as she used to (making him almost invisible to her). Though even then his heart remained to be in her hands, whether she would accept it or not.
