Mann en dominio de su capacidad narrativa ofrece una narración en las que la belleza se mezcla con lo abyecto. En Mario y el mago es la segunda figura, jorobado y embaucador, quien ofrece la imagen de lo abyecto quien hace bajar a su condición al joven. La belleza y cómo esta irrumpe en el mundo, cómo puede provocar la caída es explorado muy bien por la pluma de Mann.

The novel "Mario and the magician: a tragic travel experience" (1930) by Thomas Mann was generally accepted by critics as a narrative with an eminently political and anti-fascist bias. Read against the backdrop of "Death in Venice," it has also been considered an example of homoerotic literature. Here, we seek to overcome the impasses of biased and conflicting interpretations. It proposes a reading that contemplates the ethical tension between manipulation and resistance as the generator of the soap opera's deep conflict.
