The story ¡§A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings¡¨ is full of symbols that carry the real theme of the story. First, the appearance of the angel was old, with bad smell and parasite grown on the huge buzzard wings. The wings were dirty and half-plucked, and were forever entangled in the mud. The author made the appearance of the angel very unpleasant which makes a contradiction to our prejudice. We all think that angel should be very beautiful and clean, but this angel is just opposite of what we thought. If the old man was really an angel, this is a test to the villagers¡¦ complexity of thinking. Though the old man was an angel, the people around him did not treat him as a holy creature. ... Father Gonzaga did not believe the old man is an angel because the angel could not speak Latin. ... This was a very stupid thought. ... This made the Catholic Church a very bad organization, almost like the Mafia now.
