If you have paid enough attention to detail, you may have noticed a not-so-casual element in the $ NOB series, an element that appears in some important scenes and turns into a connotation. The writer Gertrud von Le fort used to say that "symbols are the language of something invisible" so it is not in vain that the horse is an element that stands out in the series.
The horse symbolizes different things for different people and such comes as much for one character for another. In the second series, a horse appears in Petrit's room and is associated with being part of an elite class, with achievements and above all with power. However, in some cultures, the horse also represents the strength and destruction that comes with it. Petrit, the country's oligarch and richest man, undoubtedly has as much achievement as he has the power and strength to destroy enemies or anyone who can come up against them.
In Franz's house another horse is seen as a decor in the room when he designs with Tessa their joint venture. Because they are used as a means of transportation, the horse is also a symbol of progress, of getting somewhere, of stepping forward. France, from the pet son of the deputy father, the arrogant and toxic son seeks to start a business by cooperating and helping Tessa.
Undoubtedly Paulin's horse. Many cultures associate the horse with courage and Paulin's character is a figure who has proved this. The horse is also known as the challenger of evil and death and not in vain Paulini seeks to find his brother's killer. But despite the power, in Paulin's case, the horse is not a predator, but a prey. So no matter how involved in illegal businesses, Paulini is not a predator. He risks being the prey of people who in one way or another have more power than he.
