Scene 12: Ahriman's manner, shape, and speech betray the fact that

he is being found out by the followers of Benedictus. Ahriman hopes, however, to catch Strader. Note the satire indulged in at the expense of those occultists, theosophists, and others whose air of superiority makes them a laughing stock.

Note also the last line showing the importance of remembering the dead.
