This double monstrosity, or double death, puts us in shock, and opens our eyes to a city reeling under heavy punishment.
In “The Thousand and One Nights,” we encountered more than a distorted city, as a divine punishment, or without a clear reason, such as the “City of Copper.” And instead of this country, their towns appear in their towns and their shepherds out of their towns are in chaos. While sleeping, during the notary in the deliverance, they try to do something, while Daniel, the son of light, the son of darkness, sits cutouts in pages he piles up behind him, as if a pharaoh builds a pyramid of papers to perpetuate under him, while Chopin's symphony of Romance Largitto repeats like a cosmic playing,
