Analysis of “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings by Gabriel Garcia Marquez”

The plot of A very erstwhile(a) Man with colossal Wings is crazy, but such surrealistic approach is usual for Marques. This is a stage of an nonp aril, who came into this world, but people refused to recognize him, so the disappointed backer had to leave1.Marques used a language, which appears to be rather simple he plainly tells a story as if he was telling it to children with simple wrangle and without too much literary sophistication. This makes the story similar to a apologue or a parable. The story develops in logical time unravel from the beginning to the end.Marques, as an author, takes a neutral position in the text, he provides an overview of that what has happened and leaves a freedom of evaluation for the reader.However, a reader put forward scantily fail to be moved, at least because even a simply-told story is unwarranted an angel comes to the world.Another aim of Marquess simple and even bore language is to underline the indifference of most of the character s, whether it is father Gonzaga, who rejects an angel because the angel does not speak Latin, a language of Roman Catholic Church, or Elisenda, who finds null better, than to sell tickets, as if seeing an angel was a show.The theme of Marques is obvious people are so far from God, that they are ineffective to recognize His messenger.Time and place of the story are unknown. It can only be suggested, that it is some Spanish-speaking country. Marques speaks of the time as in those times qualification a story even more similar to a legend.Such modal value of writing is rendered as magical realism, because it is divorced from reality by uncertainty of time and place and by skillful blundering of real and fantastic elements2.Marques has himself called A very Old Man with grand Wings a story for children. It has been written in the period between his two water parting novels One Hundred Years of Solitude and The Autumn of the Patriarch in a markedly easy manner3.Nevertheless, it incl udes almost all elements of magical realism, which can be found in his great books a world, which exists by itself without ties with the surrounding, fantastic creatures which enter the world, and biblical language of story-telling.Is it a story for children? In a way yes, it is a story for children or at least for those who are not yet spiritually adult. It is not Marquess fault, that most of his earreach appears to be spiritual children.As any children they have to be warned about likely poor consequences of their action, and in this sense the story of Marques represents such warning. Actually nothing happens in the story, what can be called obviously evil except for star thing people in their daily routine have bury God.Works cited1.
