Thesis: In "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" Gabriel Garcia Marquez uses a contrast between the communities reactions to both the old man and the spider-woman to highlight the nature of human beings and faith. Their fleeting curiosity with the old man reveals their unwillingness to believe something that contradicts with preexisting dogmas that cannot be properly explained, while they are fascinated by the spider-woman because she explains herself in a way that the people can believe.
I have a very long winded thesis, and I apologize for that, but I always like to write about the author's intentions when using certain devices, so in this case I focused on Marquez's use of magical realism in the old man and the spider-woman.

You don't need the second sentence in your thesis. Use the second sentence as explanation in body paragraph.
