I think that both authors create this alternate universe to remain the Latin American culture in their stories. in Latin American writing magical realism is seen a lot and is used to create a sense of native roots and gives you more of a sense of who the characters are in the stories. i think to them it is unremarkable and "normal" because this way of telling stories is actually used in real life situations in latin american culture. since both authors are from latin american backgrounds they have grown up around this culture and magical realism has actually become their "reality". i think their intentions is to create a different experience for the reader, by making the reader accept this magic and feel more connected to the characters almost in a way initializing the reader into becoming one of the natives.

Why do Marquez and Allende choose to create an alternate universe where the elements of magic are acceptable, or unremarkable? What is their intention in this design?
