    This reflection analyzes the short story "Eva is Inside Her Cat" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It discusses how the main character Eva, of an aristocratic family cursed with beauty, feels she is dying from insomnia. To preserve her spirit, Eva seeks to place it inside something else. The story exists outside of time, with Eva feeling both alive and having been dead for three thousand years. The reflection also notes similarities between this story and the Biblical story of Adam and Eve, with Eva, a tree, and an orange, and suggests the author draws a connection given his Catholic upbringing.

    Eva is Inside Her Cat Reflection

    "Eva is Inside Her Cat" is told from the point of view of a woman of an old aristocratic

    family cursed (in her mind at least) with incredible beauty who also suffers from insomnia. As

    the story begins the woman feels she is dying. The sensations in her body tell her that death is

    coming for her soon. She begins to look for something in which she can place her spirit so she

    can live on. The story takes place outside of time, so that Eva is both alive and has been dead for

    three thousand years.

    In this short story, there's Eva, a tree and an orange. It reminds me of the Genesis story of

    Adam and Eve with the apple and tree. It’s very likely that Marquez is connecting to the Catholic

    Biblical story as he was raised Roman Catholic. It wouldn’t be far-fetched to believe that it is a

    connection as there have been other Biblical connections to his other stories such as “A Very Old

    Man With Enormous Wings”.
