The second stage:
sign misrepresents or distorts the reality behind it.
- sign= perversion of reality
- the sign to be an unfaithful copy
- "masks and denatures" reality as an "evil appearance—it is of the order of maleficence"
- the sign hints at the existence of an obscure reality which the sign itself is incapable of encapsulating
The fourth stage:
sign bears no relation to any reality at all
image has departed from reference and has its own system
(image simulacrum)
- pure simulation
- simulacrum has no any relationship to the reality
