NB that the narrator tells us that it was a "romance" (22.1). Ironic? Sure.
But a deliberate choice of term.
I think the answer to Hector's question 'Who was saved?', one which Zoyd
isn't willing to face up to, is that, in the end, Zoyd's primary motive was
to save his own skin, and thus he behaved just "like everybody else"
(28.35).
