A Very Old Man, A Very Weird Story

So basically this angel falls onto earth to take away Pelayo and Elisenda's daughter. I honestly don't even know how to relate to this story. It is just so out there too me. I'm not trying to sound shallow or anything especially towards Professor Corrigan. These people caged an angel and had people pay them money to come and see him since they were tired of the community coming over to the house. Then the priest trying to prove if the man was a real angel. It almost seemed a little sac-religious. Not everything is what it seems. I like how the angel gets better and still roams the house for the girl. Elisanda finally "shoos" him away and rids the "annoyance" out of her life. I'm not exactly sure about all the symbolism involved with some of the stuff in it but all I now is that the story is very out there. I guess the story could be saying that we should not judge what we are not sure of. The priest was trying to test the man to see if he was an angel. The old man didn't know latin and had moral characteristics which led people to believe that he was not an angel. Maybe we are not supposed to know that angels seem human. Maybe the story is trying to tell us not to judge based on what we see on the outside and that there is a deeper meaning to angels then what we will see. God doesn't want us to know everything. As for the priest, I think this could be a way God tests him. A priest who leads masses is asking this angel questions to see if he is real. It almost takes away from the "faith' aspect in christianity. It is in our nature to only believe things that we see and not believe in. That's why faith is such a hard thing. It's nothing we can see, it's only something we can believe.
