Scare Chord | |
| The Consul (Theatre) / int_1b122c5d | comment |
Scare Chord: There is a nasty chord at the climax of the Act II Nightmare Sequence. In the final minute, Magda is rudely awakened from her Dying Dream by the telephone ringing, and each ring is followed by a discordant slam which is the pianistic equivalent of Symbol Swearing (though only loud in comparison to the preceding diminuendo). | |

The Ghost | |
| The Consul (Theatre) / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: The Consul appears only as a distant, inaudible shadow. As with Godot, the protagonist waits for him in vain. | |

Obstructive Bureaucrat | |
| The Consul (Theatre) / int_1f799027 | comment |
Obstructive Bureaucrat: The only visible employee of the consulate is a secretary who gives people trying to obtain exit visas an endless series of forms for them to fill out and sign, if the documents she asks them to provide are all in order. Many are made to wait for months on end. The secretary views them as numbers rather than as people with names, because "otherwise, how can one do any work?" | |
