Summary/Abstract: The present text focuses on the question of the "ultimate" observing authority in the "The drool of the devil". This is an attempt to study who is the biggest, the highest, the most real viewer that is present? Who is the "true master" of the story? The narrative, the author, the heroes, the reader, the one in the center of the sphere? The answer is to be sought in “The drool of the devil” or “The Devil's Drool”, also commonly known as “Blow-up” – after Antonioni’s film which it inspired.
