"Yes," I said, puzzled.

"There you are then. Ring for your maid, and when she comes in we'll pounce upon her and tear off her face. I'll wear her face tonight instead of mine."

"It's not practical," I said. "She'll probably die if she hasn’t got a face. Someone will certainly find the corpse, and we'll be put in prison."

"I'm hungry enough to eat her," the hyena replied.

"And the bones?"

"As well," she said. "So, it’s on?"

ANALYSIS:

The Surrealist techniques that Leonora uses in this section of the story are the following: Physical Transformations, Wild animals,and Impossible events.

Physical Transformations: when the hyena describes that it would take the face and put it on that night.

Wild Animals: because during this section the hyena appears.

Impossible events: A hyena cant talk and cut out a face and put it on.

The literary techniques that are used are: that animals speak (hyena) and that there's a lack of morals when the hyena have the idea of ripping of a face and place it on top of its face.
