The loud clang however received no answer and the land continued to be unnaturally still, only shaken by the great storm. There was nothing I could do against the waves on my own, so I had to descend into the village and call the people myself. As I ran through the streets, I met no one on my way and found only a few dogs barking and howling because of the danger they sensed in the storm. The wind was now so strong that it threw things in my way, making it even harder for me to walk. I could see the big door of the hall wide open and when I finally got there I found all the people sound asleep on the floor. I first saw the prince and approached him fast. I shook him and tried to awaken him, but he seemed immersed in a deadly sleep. The heaviness of the food and drink was on the minds of all the people and I could find no means to...
Running through the hall, I saw that the great princess was not there, as she hadn't taken part in the revelry with the others. The storm outside was getting louder and I knew that I could only save myself from drowning and that the rest of the people will perish in their sleep. It gladdened me that maybe I could find the princess and take her with me, but it ached my heart to see the whole land destroyed. As I rushed in the tower room, I found the princess asleep like the rest and for a moment I was even more dismayed. But when I shook her, she came to her senses quickly, as she hadn't been seized by that terrible heaviness, like the others. Together we fled outside just as the water was rushing through the door and the windows of the hall, sweeping everything in its way. We got away from the city, but when we were safe in the hill overlooking the land we stood and looked back to where the kingdom has been. All the people had undoubtedly perished as the waves were now swaying high above the land. Our kingdom had been completely sunken and already no trace of its existence could be heard. Only, as I stood there looking it seemed to me that I could hear a chime coming from under the sweeping waves, like a death toll.

The subordination still exists on the outside and this is shown more and more through Amir's despotic behavior towards Hassan. The subordination has moved beyond its tacit acceptance phase and into a clearly recognizable perspective. It is, however, completely irrational and comes, in fact, from Amir's own shame and being a coward and not doing anything to save Hassan. His incapacity develops on more than one levels and it is
Finny succeeded to draw a circle of truth around himself that made him credible and put him above any intention of punishment whatsoever.
