How does Laura Esquivel use imagery in The Law of Love?

The novel opens with the destruction of the dominant image in the novel, the Pyramid of Love, during the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan, Mexico. That act disturbs the "Divine Will" or cosmic order of the universe, which in turn disrupts the characters' lives. The narrator notes, "As long as the Temple of Love was not functioning, people would concentrate their love on themselves, not being able to see beyond their own image in the water's reflection." When the Pyramid's capstone is placed back on its apex, the lost city of Tenochtitlan reappears and merges with Mexico City, and harmony returns. Azucena engineers the return of the capstone through her devotion to the Law of Love.
