The author echoes this scene when, in the second plot, a priest approaches the protagonist holding a knife.

Explanation:

"The Night Face Up" is a short story written by Julio Cortazar. This short story is full of complexities that make the reader curious and anxious with the story unfolding. That's because the protagonist character lives on an insane journey between his thoughts and the reality in which he lives.

This scene echoes later, when a priest approaches the protagonist with a knife in his hand (referring to the alleged surgery), this scene also indicates that the priest may have killed the man.
