In Chapter Thirteen, the narrator's visit to his mother dramatizes the time loop, a time in which a finite sequence of events is experienced repeatedly. This serves as a metaphor for people running in circles, achieving nothing of significance in life, yet lulled by familiar events into dull acceptance of this status.
