Obviously a little older than the boy and his companions, her desires become a feeling of adoration and in his mind she is both a saint to be worshiped and a woman to be desired . Even though he really has no luck with her since she became a nun, he forgets about her and is obsessed with observing her attractive physical qualities. He also sees her constantly surrounded by light, as if by a halo. One evening he went to the back room where the priest had died, clasping his palms and murmuring: “O love! O love! (289)” in a prayer not to God, but to the very concept of love. Even if until now he has never spoken her name, it is like a “summoning to all his senseless blood (288). » The boy is very in love and, because of his idealism, he quickly realizes that he cannot keep his dream; instead, he must become aware of the burdens of the world around him.
