  • Egypt figures as pure reincarnation mysticism: a Pharaonic prologue dooms the love of an Egyptian princess and a humble shepherd, and the story then leaps to modern, British-garrisoned Egypt where the two souls return among the English colony. Ancient Egyptians supply curse, costume, and destiny; living ones barely register.
