Timeless Echoes Before the Revolution
The mention of "a past life, before the revolution" can be regarded as a metaphorical marker distinguishing two epochs, emphasizing that the sense of identity, personal values, and even the perception of reality were forged in a different, more stable, and meaningful world for the protagonist (or society). Such an image of the past evokes the impression that the previous life—with its established social structure, traditions, and spiritual guidelines—remains an ideal to which one inevitably longs to return or at least remember, despite the disruptive transformations brought by the revolution.
