"Chronicle of a Death Foretold" by Gabriel García Márquez illustrates how personal biases can shape actions and influence outcomes in society. The quote "Give me a bias and I will move the world" underscores the power of subjective perspectives in driving change, suggesting that strong beliefs can rally people towards a cause, impacting their choices and behaviors profoundly.
This notion is reflected in the narrative, where cultural and social biases lead to a predetermined fate. The story highlights the consequences of collective mindsets, as community members act with conviction driven by their inherited beliefs, ultimately culminating in a tragic event. Through this lens, Márquez explores the interplay of tradition, honor, and individual agency, showcasing how biases can anchor or disrupt social dynamics.
