Melquiades has prophecies which are meant to be considered for the future. It is strange because Aureliano the second reads these predictions as family history of the Buendia family. The reader finds out that Melquiades prophecies are extremely accurate to the historty of the town. It is kind of funny in a way because Aureliano reads about his destruction while he is reading it which gives a sense of this is how it is going to be and how it has to be. It seems to be an unavoidable path.
The importance of Pilar Ternera surviving throughout (almost) the entire novel-
I feel that Pilar Ternera lasted pretty much throughout the entire novel for good reasons. She is a fortune-teller who helps the Buendia family throughout the novel. I feel she has much wisdom that helps a great deal in guiding the family. I also feel that her relationships with Colonel Aureliano Buendia and Jose' Arcadio is of importance throughout the novel because of the children she brought forth due to the relationships.
