The narrator is third person limited omniscient. We have to interpret the narrator’s feelings by his outward descriptions of what different characters say and do. We get the sense that the narrator is rather cynical of the people and their treatment of the angel by the diction he uses,

The simplest among them thought that he should be named mayor of the world. Others of sterner mind felt that he should be promoted to the rank of five-star general in order to win all wars. Some visionaries hoped that he could be put to stud in order to implant on earth a race of winged wise men who could take charge of the universe.
