As a literary style unique to Latin America, magical realism has distinctive and unique characteristics that distinguish it. To summarize the characteristics of magical realism there are three

A magical reflection of the realities of Latin American society.

Magical realism is a kind of Latin American reality full of this bizarre and illusory trance, which is what Carpentier called a "magical reality". In this reality, there is no distinction between life and death, between man and ghost, illusion and reality are mixed, and myth and reality coexist.

The principle of magical realism is to "turn reality into fantasy without losing the chain and closing its reality".

For example, "Pedro Palamo" reflects the cruel stripping and oppression of the people by the feudal lord of the big estate. Pedro is a ghost in **, but in real life in Latin America he is a real person. Countless greedy, cruel, and vicious feudal manor owners like him are the main reasons for the poverty and backwardness of the vast rural areas of Mexico and the miserable life of the peasants.

The successful use of the "magical" expression technique.

The most fundamental difference between magical realism and traditional realism lies in the "magical" nature of the expression, which is another significant feature of magical realism.
