This motif appears throughout mythology
Bustillo transforms into his Shadow rather than his Self

Sosa names the snakes
The talking animals is a fable-like quality
Snakes are symbols of the unconscious
Snake dreams are indicative of unexpressed desires of the persona

The novel becomes more personalized and less archetypal when Sosa begins to form a relationship with one of the snakes (most absurd)

Bustillo and Sosa use alcohol to lower consciousness
Bustillo's orderly life fell into chaos with his affair, the death of his lover, loss of his job and abandonment of his family
