10.
About an hour later, I noticed the first signs of trouble. A bat flew in at the window, uttering little cries. I am terribly afraid of bats. I hid behind a chair, my teeth chattering. I had hardly gone down on my knees when the sound of beating wings was overcome by a great noise at my door. My mother entered, pale with rage.
"We’d just sat down at table," she said, "when that thing sitting in your place got up and shouted, 'So I smell a bit strong, what? Well, I don't eat cakes!' Whereupon it tore off its face and ate it. And with one great bound, disappeared through the window".
On this last section of the story, Leonora Carrington is expressing herself using different kinds of surrealism like impossible events when the hyena shouts about her smell; violence by eating the maids face; and rebellions against society since the moment the hyena attends to the dinner. I believe shes doing it to represent how dumb she thinks they are. Shes also using a literally technique of lack of moral when she makes fun of the people attending the dinner and when she eats the maid´s face.
