Hi. You have not submitted the essay this question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try and help as best I can.
It is only possible to know how the reference to King Midas is important for the essay if the reading of the essay is done. However, King Midas is known to be a very ambitious and wealth-obsessed King, even to the point of selling his own soul to become richer, which causes him to lose his most precious possession, his daughter. In this case, we can consider that the essay must present this king to draw a parallel between the subject of the essay and this tragic story of Midas, stimulated by the thirst for riches. We can therefore consider that the reference to Midas serves to intensify some of Chesterton's positions within the essay.
This is an example of an allusion, because an allusion is a figure of speech that allows a text to make references to other texts, people, characters, places and external situations.
The presence of an authoritarian government and strong censorship are realistic aspects of this story. On the other hand, Juan's attitude of censoring his letter is something that seems unreal and a nightmare.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The story takes place in a dictatorial government, where censorship is an attitude taken to control the population.
- This kind of attitude is common in this type of government.
- Within this story, Juan is unable to send letters to his girl.friend, as these letters are always intercepted and censured.
To prevent this from happening, Juan decides to work in the government's censorship department, to be able to send his letters. But he becomes so dedicated to the work that he censors his own letter without thinking twice.
This behavior is unrealistic and it seems like a nightmare to think that a government can control people to the point where they ignore their feelings and desires to maintain the control of the government.
