Do any of the characters treat the very old man with the reverence due to a human or an angel? What kind of interest do people show him in "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings"?

In the short story "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a filthy old man with huge damaged wings is swept into a family's yard by a violent rainstorm. Although a neighbor woman claims that the old man is an angel, the father of the family imprisons him in the chicken coop in the yard. After their child recovers from an illness, the parents consider releasing the old man and helping him on his way, but then they realize that the people of the village are fascinated by him. From then on, they treat him like a circus attraction and charge admission for people to look at him.
Most of the people treat the old man like a curiosity. Some of the early onlookers frivolously speculate that the old man should be made the mayor of the world, a five-star general, or a stud to create a race of winged people. The family considers him to be a meal ticket. The neighbor woman who identified him as an angel wants him to be clubbed to death. The local priest says that he might be a deception of the devil when he finds out the old man cannot speak Latin, which the priest thinks is the language of God. Many people who are sick and insane visit the angel hoping to be cured; however, they do not respect him but only want to use his supposed powers for their own ends. The child of the couple in whose yard the old man falls eventually plays in the chicken coop with him, and they contract chicken pox at the same time, but there is no indication that the child has any special respect for the old man.
In summary, no one in the story treats the old man with the reverence that should be due to a human or angel. He is always treated as an aberration, a curiosity, or something that can be utilized for selfish gain. Even as the mother witnesses the old man fly off after the feathers of his wings have grown back at the end of the story, she feels no reverence, only relief that he is no longer an annoyance.
