Im Übrigen erinnert die Halle mit ihren Treppenanlagen, Aufzugsröhren, Durchdringungen, Durchblicken und ihrer Vielschichtigkeit an die fiebrigen Raumfantasien des italienischen Barockarchitekten Giovanni Battista Piranesi, freilich ohne dessen Faible für das Geheimnisvolle und die Düsternis. [G] Moreover, the hall, with its staircase systems, elevator tubes, skylights and aperture windows, and their many-layered quality, is reminiscent of the feverish spatial fantasies of the Italian Baroque architect Giovanni Battista Piranesi, without his foible for secrecy and sombreness, of course.

Seine inhaltliche Düsternis, die übertriebene Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnung der Charaktere mochte ebenso einer narrativen Vorliebe -oder Schwäche - für das türkische Melodrama entsprungen sein, wie beinharten realen Verhältnissen. [G] Its dark content, the exaggerated black-and-white depiction of its characters, must have originated as much in a narrative preference - or weakness - for Turkish melodrama as in tough real-life circumstances.
