...cell, which multiplies. In the fetus, he develops a cartilaginous spine, then a segmented back bone, an elongated body, a well-developed tail, five gill slits (two of which later become the Eustachian tubes) ; he resembles in turn a fish, an amphibian, a primitive reptile, a primitive mammal, an ape; he has dark soft hair covering the entire body except the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet until three weeks before birth.

In its revolt from realism it is frankly, blatantly theatrical, and heaps up all the artificial tricks of expressionist drama. As in the Fifth Avenue scene of "The Hairy Ape", so here in the funeral scene masks are used to intensify the impression of stifling conventionality.
