It's interesting to note that throughout the story when a mysterious situation takes
place, typically the supernatural elements correlate to one of the themes; one
theme in particular being rightful inheritance. Conrad's death, resulting from
the fallen helmet that resembles Alfonso's helmet, is an unnatural way to die.
It puts emphasis on the supernatural aspect of the helmet killing Conrad, son
of Manfred and it seems that the main focus is the importance of the helmet and
Alfonso and what he reflected. Alfonso reappears
other times in mystical forms and alludes to rightful inheritance. Rightful inheritance
that specifically doesn't belong to Manfred, but instead Theodore.
