The Balding, Toothless, Castaway †with Wings

Marquezs A Very Old Man with terrible Wings revolves on the genre of magic realism, where the unnatural events and characters are interspersed with the daily activities of human life.The story presents the 2 main topics of interest the old and withering winged man and the sm totally community around it. magic characters are of a natural thing when it comes to this genre and the response of the people around it implies a perspicacious realism where the realms of magic and the real world meet halfway.The story does not present a illume moral perspective or lesson in the end. Rather, it only presents a straightforward storytelling style designed to nominate the reader an opportunity to think of different subjective possibilities. There are no genuine expressions of disaster or exclaim over the appearances of these characters. In this case, the angel appears as though it is a part of their reality wherein it is viewed as roughlything ordinary.The characters in the story view t he angel as foretell, even in his pathetic personal state. However, after the town priest carefully examined the angel, they have deduced that he was an impostor, for he did not know the phraseology of God. Although angels are closely associated with Christian teachings, the theological system of the angel in the story is concentrated more on the magical rather than the spectral aspect.The angela decrepit old man with half-plucked wings infect with parasitesmay be related to the struggles that the human soul find outs in the eventuality of submission from the burden of earthly problems. The angel symbolizes decay and the slow death of the soul as he tries to relieve all his burdens.There are several notions on the symbolisms of the angel and its wings. First, as a general figure without cultural or religious basis, the angel may be regarded as simply a man with wings coming from some shipwreck across the sea.However, the story made no mention of the origins of the man, nor t he reasons why he has wings committed naturally to his body. As Pelayo and Elisinda observed, it was a toothless, balding old man that could have been easily mistaken as someone from a foreign country. But the wings show the character all the more mysterious. Thus, upon their address from their neighbor who knew the workings of life, the latter immediately responded that it was an angel sent to claim their sick childs life (Marquez 388).The experience of the township with the angel also implies the contextual definition and nature of the community. They immediately impose in their intelligence that it is in fact an angel and quickly resort to several propositions in order to use this divine entity for the benefit of the human race.The simplest of the proposals is to make the angel as mayor of the world. The more radical ones suggest that he be made either as a five-star general in order to win all wars or as a genetically perfect parental source in order to make all human beings wise and conquer the universe. These reactions are the natural impulse of man to associate divinity on earth as a universal solution to mortal problems.This divinity is a unified action that delimits the capacity of human act as incompetent and incapable compared to the powers of the divine. Human beings, upon the proper circumstances, leave behind willingly submit themselves to a higher order or a divine power in order to take over and create a perfect society.These propositions also deal with human freedom, where the townspeople entrusts their problems to divine solution. Although the divine effects were in a sense magical and comical (blind man who, instead of regaining vision, grows extra teeth), the townspeople did not view the angels abilities as a proper divine mental ability because of the lack to completely heal people.
