Who is the narrator of the story "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings"?

by
Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a short story that falls into the category of magical . It is told
through a third-person omniscient point of view. This means that there is not a character that
narrates the story. Instead, the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters
and is able to share them with the audience.

This gives each character more
depth and meaning, so it works well for character development. The audience is able to know
things about characters that other characters do not know. In magical realism, this point of
view gives the audience an opportunity to determine what is real and what is not based on a
fuller understanding on the characters instead of what the characters know about each
other.
