'Zom 100' Critiques Predatory Capitalism
Zombie apocalypses have been metaphors for late-stage predatory capitalism, but never a system disrupter that brings about freedom.

He wants to return to the Republic of Venice but he doesn't dare going there directly because he was a fugitive when he left.

Moreover he lets Casanova take his place. Undercover of the night Casanova finally seduces her. Lorenzo later feels his honor was besmirched and demands satisfaction.
