Summary/Abstract: The paper investigates the spatiotemporal elements in the construction of the plot which establishes the starting point, a general overview of the allegorical representation of the world. In relation to reality as a mirror, and a parabolic game as the reflection, profiling of the characters and their interrelationships occupy an important part of the analysis. Phenomena of the lower constructive rank: circle, word, whiteness, exterior – interior but equally important in building the sense, analysed from the point of view of the parabola as a global metaphor.
