| MAIN THEME | Eternal sitting and the appearance of a box seat |
He is condemned to eternal languishing and has sunk so deeply into the armchair that the furniture has become an extension of his body.
Origin and Manifestations
The damned man begs to be set free or granted a moment’s relief. His immobility is deceptive: the chair feeds on every refusal and shifts the burden of another’s guilt onto the visitor.
Erotic Nature
Its erotic nature is built upon an unattainable bed. It sees intimacy but cannot approach it, so it turns any offer of help into a test of the other’s pity and a desire to feel power over the helpless.
Countermeasures and Cost
The light of a star and the correct substitution of details set him free. Simply granting the request alleviates the suffering but does not break the curse. Do not sit in the chair after it has disappeared.
