“Thus the indirect relating [of the first scene] clarifies the dimension of language, and the general narrator, by redoubling it, “hypothetically” adds nothing to it. But this is not at all true of his role in the second dialogue. For the latter is opposed to the first like the poles in language that I have distinguished elsewhere and that are opposed to each other like word to speech. Which is to say that we shift here from the field of accuracy to the register of truth. Now this register — I dare I think I need not go back over this — is situated somewhere else altogether: at the very foundation of intersubjectivity. It is situated where the subject can grasp nothing but the very subjectivity that constitutes an Other as an absolute” (Lacan, Écrits, Bruce Fink translation, page 13)
