I feel like the idea of being forced into the body of Felipe from the very beginning can easily be a symbol of authority manipulating a reader to believe and embody the role it wants you to take. By the end of the story, Felipe and Aura seems to have taken on the role of the General and Consuelo; there is the question, however, of whether Felipe and Aura have become these people or are they just another reflection of the two people. This could also be symbolic for an argumentative work that forces the readers to rethink their position and either take on a different idea or reinforce their previous position. Either way, the reader has changed by reading the work by experiencing the thought that both sides are possible.
I feel like overall, this story of Felipe and Aura can easily be a metaphor for a reader who is manipulated into believing something just by being presented with an idea that disguises itself as a reality.
