Florentino Ariza is one of the characters in the book. He is a sucker for love. He spent practically his whole life chasing after this one woman, Fermina Daza. They were lovers but the poor girl got shipped away. He remained madly in love with her, however upon her return when he tried to relight the fire between them, she realized that he was no longer what she wanted and married another man. Now most men would move on and forget about "the one that got away", but not Florentino. He stayed true and loyal to her in hopes of one day he could jump back into her life. That day finally came when her husband passed away. He seized the opportunity to seduce her once again, although she was not amused. Some could say that he is a bit crazy, others could say he was just desperate, but no one can deny the love he had in his heart for that woman the determination he showed on trying to win her back.
