Describe symbolism in The Law of Love by Laura Esquivel

The pyramid is a recurring symbol. Introduced in the first chapter, its destruction echoes the destruction not only of the city but of the Aztec culture and religion, which is based, according to this story, on the Law of Love. Originally intended to promote harmony, the pyramid instead has provoked conflict, violence and hatred. The pyramid figures in the final paragraphs when it is restored to its original location. In that light, it can be described as a symbol of the conflict between good and evil. Until Good, or love, is restored, harmony is not possible.
