The identity of the cannibal is formed by culturally opposed concepts and is placed in a continuous between: between good and evil, between monstrosity and humanity, between the horror of the crimes he commits and the aestheticization and preciousness of how he presents them, between the recreation of an exquisite high culture (gastronomy) and animality and savagery (cannibalism) that scores each and every one of its episodes.
