A look at modern religious views: 
Based on “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings”

Gabriel Garcia Marquez constructs an intriguing story which includes more than one clear message.  This story is meant to be a satirical look at modern religious views..  First and foremost the issue of the duality of the so-called Christian characters arises.  Another meaning is how ungrateful the main characters, Pelayo and Elisenda act throughout the story. Third it conveyed a message of decline in religious faith through the characters misunderstandings of what was happening
The story opens with Pelayo and Elisenda nursing their young, sick child during a great rainstorm.  It had been raining for the last three days.  Pelayo looked out the windows; he finds he is staring at a strange entity.  “He had to get very close to realize to see that it was a very old man, lying face down in the mud, who, in spite of his tremendous efforts, couldn’t get up, impeded by his enormous wings”(233).  We would suspect Pelayo and Elisenda, being a good Christian couple, would take in the old man and care for him.  Unfortunately this was not the case.
