This is our only onstage sight of Hernandez, the Robin Hood allegory of social justice. He is dressed in a long black coat, signifying the darkness and secrecy of the socialist campaign. He is the Minister of War, symbolizing socialism's militant position working within the accepted system. His downcast eyelids and furrowed brow reflect the troubled prospects for the movement, and he carries a rosary, symbolizing socialism's alliance with religion as the moral ideals animating the populace in the new era. However, his "high-crowned" hat, symbolizing his sheltering dream-ideal, suggests the ambition of rulership he has for the People, and "the force he has organized" is far larger than the "Carabineers of the Campo."
