Hunger Artist

I will try to demonstrate what the public’s reaction was to the angel in “ The
very old man with Enormous wings ” and Kafka’s “ Hunger Artist ” from what the
authors wrote in the stories and the characters point of view. I will also try
illustrate how the public has more of a meaning in both stories.
In “ A very old man with Enormous Wings ” the public goes to see the old
man because they wanted to see what he was. The owner’s of the house where the
old man was at, thought that he was a lonely castaway from some foreign ship
wrecked by the storm. They thought this because they spoke to him and he

The public tossed him things to eat as if he weren’t a supernatural creature

was already ruined by this time. After this people stopped going to see the old man.
Months had past when the old man got new wings and just flew away.
I think that the angel in “ The very old man with Enormous wings ” might
have actually stayed. He left because no one treated him right. They did not believe
in him just because he did not give them what they wanted, so they did not have
faith in him. The public could of just believe in him and treated him well maybe he
would have gotten well and then he would have gaven them what they wanted.
