A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings
Gabriel Garcia Marquez manages to bring a story to life that has magic, sadness, mystery, greed, enchantment, religion, and wonder all in just a few pages. The main character is the very old man with enormous wings. ... The father of a sick child stumbles upon this man with wings lying face down in the mud during a rainy night unable to get up unsure if he is even alive. “He had to go very close to see that it was and old man, a very old man, lying face down in the mud, who, in spite of his tremendous efforts, couldn’t get up, impeded by his enormous wings” (Marquez, 2004, 323). In the beginning he even went and asks the neighbor woman who know everything about life and death to take a look at the man they had found and she tells him he is an angel yet he ignores her words. ... “He must have been coming for the child but the poor fellow is so old that the rain knocked him down” (Marquez, 324). ... Even the priest who one would think would be educated and know enough to recognize an angel has to write letters and wait on replies from church elders, all the while letting the town’s people treat this man like he is a circus exhibit. ... It was the arrival of a woman that has been turned into a spider for disobeying her parents that finally turned their entertainment away from the angel and onto to something just as sad and horrific as the man with enormous wings.
