Summary/Abstract: The current article surprises the ironical attitude that Pavel makes use of when treating his destiny, becoming an extension of the huxlerian heroes. But destiny, in its turn, banters him: the character succeeds in falling in love and loves with the same intensity two women whose personality is antithetical. This fact causes profound inner dramas to the hero, taking the form of acceptance about characters of their creator, Mircea Eliade.Another aspect that the article aims at illustrating is the ergography of the novel ‘Return to Heaven’, thus the Romanian writer reflecting in the story his existential problems related to eros: the simultaneous love for Nina Mares and Sorana Topa. The revelation of the writer’s solution to his drama is also revealed to Mircea Eliade by his hero: Pavel Anicet leaves life of his own free will, and the end of the story becomes the absolute representation of irony: destiny seems to defeat him, but Pavel Anicet’s attitude denotes the revelation of existence beyond existence. So, from this perspective, destiny obliges the hero in a bantering manner to become aware of his own existence.
