I’d like to rephrase what I just said: when I met Elena I became attached to a new way of life, to the codes of a new social class, and to everything associated with this class, art, literature, the cinema, because all of that allowed me to take revenge on my childhood, to give me power over you, over my past, over poverty, over the insults, and in imitating this life I was gaining access to a world that had always intimidated you and that you had always implicitly recognized as superior (weren’t you intimidated when you heard the doctor and teacher speaking their refined language?).
