"'Political Economy' of the Body" Quote 3

When I read this quote I thought of the man as a person of equal value to the king but with less power. The man still has power over others but is working under the king. To me this quote means that people are all of equal importance. This is shown by using the word symmetrical. The man is a symmetrical "inverted figure of the king."
Power is centralized in a certain head figure and that power is handed down to the next level.
