When Eric falls asleep, the setting changes from a modern to an ancient setting, as he is transported to the beginning of the Renaissance.
Why does this change happen?
- The change in scenery reinforces the passage of time.
- This is because Eric is transported back in time and this has a very profound impact on the story.
- Before transport, Eric is in the modern world and the scene presents modern features, technological devices, current facilities, among others.
- After transport, Eric finds himself in a very ancient time, where technology is low and customs are completely different.
This change of scenery creates many conflicts for Eric, which moves the story and causes dynamism.
