Angels are undeniably associated with religion and more usually Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

Els poderosos protagonistes (l'Àgata, en Pere Màrtir, la Mariona) són envoltats per un cor de personatges aparentment secundaris que representen la comunitat, l'opinió pública, la caixa de ressonància que amplifica i distorsiona els conflictes i en precipita el tràgic desenllaç.
