The present study investigates if the traditional concept of love presented in Marquez‟s Love in the Time of Cholera has to be celebrated as Freud justifies or mourned as rebutted by Freidan from the gender perspective and highlighted in the close reading of the text. The Freudian perspective on the structured sexuality and normalization of debased love can help the readers understand why the patriarchal version of love has been normalized in the text which may be questioned in view of the structured violence it has rendered on the debased women, and Friedan‟s challenges to Freud‟s theory of femininity based on his study of sexual repression in women. Florentino‟s sexual life has been a curious case of courtships with numerous women who have remained shadowy in the contemporary scholarship. The research essay foregrounds the relegated women in the Marquez‟s narrativized attempt to glorify Fermina-Florentino‟s affair.
