There are a lot of dead bodies in the book but the question that is repeated is: what happens to the souls? In Chapter 2, the narration shifts to one of those souls. Even if the story is based on historical events, the narration is dreamlike, the goriness is seen through a mist. Chapter 3 refers to a play that may never be performed. The italicized passages throughout the book may be jumps to the literary viewpoint.
