House MD / One Hundred Years of Solitude

There’s not really a direct parallel and admittedly I don’t fully remember One Hundred Years of Solitude but.

All the characters are alone and lonely despite working in PPTH together all day every day. There are relationships and friendships but they are alone. House has no friend other than Wilson, their friendship is a strange one and they are not the types to bare themselves, and when Wilson dies, House will be alone. Cuddy was with House here and there, but ends up traumatized by him and leaves. Wilson is thrice divorced, Amber died, he doesn’t have friends other than House even though he is well-liked, and House is unreliable. At least they were together in his last days, but they almost didn’t because of House’s parole violation.

Foreman buries his feelings and doesn’t connect with others. His relationship with was doomed (by Huntington’s) to begin with, but in the end, Thirteen leaves because he prioritizes the department. Chase and Cameron are together for a while, but Cameron ends up leaving. (Cameron is the only one to escape, really.) Taub did the most to keep his marriage together, but he couldn’t keep it together. Thirteen struggles with her degenerative disease alone. She kills her brother. Eventually House sends her away so she can be happy with her girlfriend. Amber’s hostility alienates her peers. When she finally learns not to be alone, she dies. At least Wilson was by her side and everyone got to say goodbye. Kutner dies alone.

Adams is alone. Park has family, but not really friends, and she seems to only have fleeting sexual relationships. Masters was the only one to have friendly interactions with her peers. She couldn’t stand working for House and left.

There’s a repetitive generational pattern. Thirteen-Kutner-Taub was a variation of Cameron-Chase-Foreman. Foreman succeeds Cuddy and Chase succeeds House. There are differences, of course, but there’s a tragic thread. And House “dies” but the inescapable ghost of his destruction remains in Foreman, Chase, and others.

House is Macondo and the only way to not be consumed by aloneness is to get out, but most don’t because they are not alone because they’re with House; they’re with House because they are alone.

In conclusion I gotta go read Gabriel García Marquez again…

#yes they set it up as though the true root cause was cuddy in the end#but I beg you to consider that 1) house agreed to seriously unpack his feelings of rejection re: wilson in relation to his exacerbated#drinking & the bar fight#and 2) the patient of the week deliberately evoked moments from house’s head/wilson’s heart#with particular emphasis on the brain surgery#which was the one time that wilson ever put house second to someone else#specifically a girlfriend#AKA the exact curveball that house has just been thrown for a second time (albeit in a less grave context)#nolan suggests that house punished the patient’s husband the way he’s punishing himself because they’re both losing someone they love#yes we could assume that his alcoholism was made worse by cuddy and lucas’s commitment#but also… house started drinking himself into blackouts when sam and wilson got together. not when cuddy and lucas got together#which reminds me — the last time that house sought out getting trashed at the bar#was when WILSON AND AMBER GOT TOGETHER. this is a pattern for him.#he goes out and destroys himself when wilson becomes seriously romantically involved.
