The Satire of Tashir’s mother
While growing up, Tashir was taken care of an obnoxious father and incest-minded mother. Therefore, Tashir had an awful upbringing which almost made him hopeless. The satire, however, is that Tashir's mother tried to seduce him to have sex with her!
Tashir’s uncle
Tashir's uncle is a satirical character who wants to be controlled using whatever means, including killing all his family members. Tashir's uncle perpetrates a magic spell among the entire family to actualize his plan. As a result, the entire family is wiped out except Tashir! The satire is that the magic spell also kills Tashir's uncle, unlike his expectations of remaining the king. Instead, Tashir endures and is crowned the king of two nations.
The irony of death
Death is paradoxical in the text because it claims the loved ones when we least expect. Vanyel is a victim of the grief that comes with death. After realizing that he was homosexual, Vanyel fell in love with Tylendel, but his happiness was cut short when his lover committed suicide. Since the death of Tylendel, Vanyel's life has never been normal because he lives in angst.
