In paragraph 10, the author shows that the dedication to work that Juan presented is totally contrary to his goals of working in the censorship department. She reinforces this, using words like "absorbed," "blurred" and "shocked" to establish verbal irony.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Paragraph 10 reinforces the idea that Juan was infected by the government's concepts of censorship and oppression when he started working in that department.
  • This made him dedicate himself intensely to censoring letters and any mention goes against the government.
  • This dedication is completely contrary to Juan's goals of working in the censorship department, as he wanted to work in that department to prevent his letters from being censored.

In this case, this paragraph shows the reader how the narrator has a perspective that as you become involved with an oppressive government, you will end up supporting the oppression that that government emits.
