"In the darkest region of the political field the condemned man represents the symmetrical, inverted figure of the king..."
- The condemned man and the king are both two human beings that happen to be polar oppostites of eachother. They are both two people on different sides of the social ladder. I believe that when the quote states that " the condemed man represents the symmetrical, inverted figure of the king..." it is saying that the condemed man represents the people who are on the opposite side of the king and that the king is just a man like them. He just has a higher position then they do. Even if the condemed man switched places with the king his opinions toward the king would be no different and the king's opinions toward him would also be the same.
