Hello! Nice analysis! I would just ajust some things. Check out if they fit! =]

1. A symbol that has a powerful affect -> effect
2. they wrote each other to connection -> to connect
3. that hinder him to realizes that she was the one all though the years -> to realize/trough all
4. relationship with infidelity; Marquez -> in this case I would use a comma here.
5. It captures a moment of Florentino and Fermina relationship it reflects that since he has her -> why don't you use the word also to separate the statements?

6. He can die at peace -> in piece
