Also, the orders of events are different because many things will not go as smoothly if events do not switch places. More ...

... though? Its seems as though the “dance” represents life and life is only good for one thing, war. If one does not “offer up himself to the blood of war (pp.331),” then that man cannot dance and thus cannot live. Is this why the Kid must die in the end of the book? Because he had chosen to stray away from the fate the Judge had set for him and “elect therefore some opposite course (pp.330)?” The opposite course the Kid elected for himself was one without pointless slaughter, and meaningless bloodshed.
