When the viewer joins the woman in the darkness, the brilliance of the white flesh will disappear and the viewer will enter a world that is not his or her world, but the world of the woman and of the snake. The viewer will pass a borderline. He or she will voluntarily enter a world that must be a realm of decadence, of moral evil, and then sin will really take hold in its most complete and fulfilled form. The frame of the painting is thus a door to another world. Yet, will that knowledge keep viewers from stepping into the darkness? The other world tempts with its mystic, the mystic of the unknown. The viewer is curious and may be longing for adventure and submit to the attraction of the unknown. Are not people constantly in quest of sensations? Sensations make one feel one is alive. Why pursue a life of good, live a boring life, when adventure looms a step beyond the frame?
