Summary/Abstract: In a dynamic game of repetitions that grow thinner and thicker, the figure of horse unfolds the thematic and structural entirety in Përbindëshi (The Monster). The radiating function of such recurrence is allegorical: the fulfilment of the mythical form carries and is subject to present day issues. The myth of disloyalty in the world of He/Llene(a) and the network of disagreements that make it possible merges with the shapes of selfpropelled modern equipment and sheds light on the fear machine that haunts every human generation, constantly casting doubt, and triggering pressure, fear and anxiety. The era of the Total Wooden Horse, namely the TotalHorse era comes as analogy with the political nightmare that shiningly thrills every human cell. In this paper, we will research into the form of the art arrangement on the topic of the Trojan Horse in its allegorical function in the structure of Kadare's novel.
