Despite Alessandro's struggles, Perseus insists that his padded hands are still capable of holding bread and soup, urging him to take advantage of the food available from the ovens. The warm smell of fresh bread adds to the allure of nourishment, highlighting the necessity of strengthening oneself after suffering.
This interaction reflects the camaraderie between the characters and Perseus's attempts to lift Alessandro's spirits. The humorous analogy to a kangaroo emphasizes the absurdity of their situation, yet it also illustrates the resilience needed to survive in difficult times.
