Logical flaw in CODF -Toby

The word "chronicle," by definition, suggests to the reader that the story is an account of a series of events that has already happened. Despite this, the word "foretold" is also included in the title. By definition, the use of this word suggests to the reader that the events in the novel had yet to be written when they were written about in the novel. This creates contradiction. From the perspective of a chronological flow of time, the title in logically flawed. Something cannot be foretold if it has already happened. This contradiction in the title, in turn, suggests to the reader that the story will be an anachronism.

Now, what intent would Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the author, have through creating this contradiction in the title of the novel? Marquez creates antithesis in the title to portray the scope of the ideas and events in the novel.
