The City of Falling Angels What metaphors are used in The City of Falling Angels by John Berendt? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 04:23 Last updated by Cat on 25 Jan 00:57
"Beware of falling angels", is a metaphor for the story and for Berendt's view of Venice, history literally falling from the skies because of crumbling treasures in need of restoration.
