Description

Having been condemned to death by the Spanish Inquisition, the narrator descends into a kind of hell.

Dizzy with weakness and fainting with fear, he experiences such torments that death itself would be welcome.

What troubles him most is the eternal question: how will he die?

Toledo Prison is notorious for the torture of the condemned.

What minds have dreamed up the terror of the pit in the centre of the cell?

What is the significance of the painted figure of Time with his menacing pendulum? Why do the walls glow with heat?Experience with the narrator the intensity of his suffering when death seems inevitable but its form uncertain.

Can anything, or anybody help him?
