FN's lion phase ends with the death of RW, whereby he achieves the final metamorphosis, the innocence of the child, at the end of his fictional autobiography, Thus Spoke Zarathrustra. The remainder of my paper details the research of reincarnation that was inspired by these comparisons and coinciding events. II.(Friedrich Nietzsche, 3.
