Quote #10

He seemed to be in so many places at the same time that they grew to think that he'd been duplicated, that he was reproducing himself all through the house, and the exasperated and unhinged Elisenda shouted that it was awful living in that hell full of angels. (12)

Another contrast between religious images. Usually a place full of angels would be called "heaven," not "hell." Not here. His suffering has made what could be heaven into hell.
