The man with enormous wings
In this story, the man with enormous wings symbolizes hope, and I think that he was indeed an angel. I think he came to the house of Pelayo and Elisenda not to bring the child to death, but rather to make them money to keep the crabs out of the house and to make the child well again. It appeared as though he meant for everything that happened to happen, because everything worked out in the house owners' favors. The angel was so patient and endured torment and ridicule just so that the couple could charge admission to see him, and therefore making a lot of money to support their child and fix their house. His purpose was to help the family at all costs, and he somewhat sacrificed himself to do so.
