With the development of modern society, novels, their literary characters, as well as the narrators have changed. That is why they are undoubtedly literary concepts on which much ink has been spilled. Just as man developed and was perceived in society, so were the concepts related to man or person in literature. Aristotle's Poetics is the basis of most of the concepts we know today. We will consider them here in the light of an author arriving nearly 2,000 years later. Gabriel García Márquez is a well-known Colombian Nobel laureate, one of the main representatives of 'magical realism'. Some of his works will be analyzed here with the help of the literary theory of narrators, of focalization and of the literary person. In all these literary terms, however, we will focus on men, both characters and narrators who, we believe, have their particularities.
