A VERY OLD MAN WITH ENORMOUS WINGS The story “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings” written by Gabriel G. Marquez was a very confusing story at first.

In “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett and “Chronicles of a Death Foretold” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez‚ the reader is presented with an un-orthodox beginning of story in both novels. While Beckett’s play starts with the antithesis of a usual opening line “Nothing to be done”‚ Marquez’s novel does the same “On the day they were going to kill him‚ Santiago Nasar” thus condemning the novel to a foretold destiny. These approaches withdraw any initial suspense that the novel or play could offer; this
