I would like to know any comments on the translation of "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings," by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I would like to know any...

This story
makes me think of Frankenstein, Shrek, or The Elephant Man.  We fear what we do not understand. 
We are instantly transformed to mob behavior...grab your pitchforks and torches!  Chase him,
beat him, kill him.  This is the material world's effect on an otherwise good person...the Good
Samaritan, if you will.  Alone, a person would be more likely to treat the old man (angel) with
kindness.  In a mob, being goaded by fear and miscommunication, people become monsters.  The
story tells us something about ourselves.  It is a strong suggestion to look inward and wonder
about how we would treat a person who means us no harm, but who frightens us because of his
strange or different appearance.
