Status Updates From Thomas the Obscure

Sapeva invece, sentiva, con un'angoscia che sembrava minacciare la sua stessa vita ma che era più preziosa della sua vita, che se anche non avesse detto niente di vero per quanto avesse parlato, si esponeva, accettando una versione tra le altre, al pericolo di scartare i semi di verità che sarebbero stati sacrificati.

Obscure indeed

So far, I have the following questions:

What exactly is Thomas?

•Is he part of the human consciousness?
•Is he Death? Or the angel of death?
•Is he the state of beyond death, the nullity?
•Is he a feeling, a specific state of paradoxicism that not many experience?

And yet Thomas is not strictly any one of these things—he is all of them at once, the face the void wears.

Death was a crude metamorphosis beside the indiscernible nullity which I nevertheless coupled with the name Thomas.

The concept of death not being the final destination but a transition into something else that lies beyond, the nullity perhaps. And yet the author connects it to Thomas again, making us wonder what exactly is this entity?
