        <description><![CDATA[With archetype meaning the original pattern or model after which a thing is made, the story itself is an archetype of a fairy tale with the role of the supernatural mixing with the mundane.  However, while Marquez's "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" is in the style of a folk or fairy tale, it does not provide a moral lesson.  Instead, it blurs the line between the significant and the trivial as the townspeople misinterpret and then become...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The central theme of "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" seems to be one of how people handle doubt and ambiguity.  When the angel arrives, Pelayo and his wife are frightened and do not know what to think.  They call the priest and a neighbor to explain the presence of this angel, for they lack the necessary imagination.  In their obtuse misunderstanding, they turn the presence of this angel into a sideshow, with "the angel [being] the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is such an interesting question, especially considering that Marquez's stories usually contain an indeterminate time and place.  A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings is no exception.  This is because Marquez uses a technique often referred to as "magical realism" which simply means that elements of magic and fairy tales are embedded within the same story as elements from our reality.  This usually creates an intense frustration for the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[devin1999,
The narrator makes the statement that "His only supernatural virtue seemed to be patience". His wings and the ability to fly make the stranger different from ordinary men but so too do his patience and acceptance of suffering.
The story is satiric and comical. One ought not to be so concerned with creating a religious allegory that one fails to see the humor, for instance, in the comments on the priest, the mail from Rome, and...]]></description>
