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

'The plot of â€Å"A precise Old earthly concern with frightful Wings” is fantastic, just such sur real numberistic approach is usual for Marques. This is a account of an nonsuch, who came into this world, but citizenry refused to recognize him, so the disappointed angel had to leave[1].Marques used a language, which appears to be rather simple-minded: he just tells a story as if he was telling it to children: with simple words and without too much literary sophistication. This makes the story corresponding to a legend or a parable. The story develops in logical time melt down from the beginning to the end.Marques, as an author, takes a neutral send in the text, he provides an overview of that what has happened and leaves a freedom of military rank for the reader.However, a reader can hardly decompose to be moved, at least because even a simply-told story is fantastic: an angel comes to the world.Another aim of Marques’s simple and even boring language is t o underscore the indifference of most of the characters, whether it is father Gonzaga, who rejects an angel because the angel does not speak Latin, a language of roman letters Catholic Church, or Elisenda, who finds nothing better, than to sell tickets, as if seeing an angel was a show.The idea of Marques is unambiguous: people ar so far from God, that they are unable 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 â€Å"in those times” fashioning a story even more similar to a legend.Such style of writing is rendered as ‘charming realism’, because it is divorced from reality by indecision of time and place and by skillful blundering of real and fantastic elements[2].Marques has himself called â€Å"A very Old part with Enormous Wings” a story for children. It has been pen in the period between his two line novels: ‘One Hun dred Years of Solitude’ and ‘The gloaming of the Patriarch’ in a markedly blue manner[3].Nevertheless, it includes 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 Marques’s fault, that most of his audience appears to be â€Å"spiritual children”.As whatever children they have to be warned about possible pitiable consequences of their action, and in this sense the story of Marques represents such warning. rattling nothing happens in the story, what can be called plainly evil except for one thing: people in their daily routine have forget God.Works cited:1.
