Alcohol could easily turn a man like this one into a "stranger", a person unlike his normal self, as could frustration, lack of mature control of his emotions, the feeling of power that he finds in hurting those weaker than he is, etc. The figure is presented as anonymous and merely represents a type of man, to my eyes. I see this as a warning to look for this inside men and to stay away from those in whom one can see hints of the figure.blhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520705849685484773noreply@blogger.com
