La Voragine è uno scavo, che si tratti di un paradosso non c'è bisogno di dirlo: ad un operaio viene ordinato di scavare una fossa, lui scava finché non tocca il fondo. Da qui una serie di guai per il malcapitato operaio reo di aver compiuto onestamente , fino al fondo, il proprio dovere.

Ma cosa rappresenta il vuoto per l'uomo? È l'incapacità di rispondere ad alcune domande di fondo: chi sono io?
