The carousel is reminiscent of the concept of "Vanity Fair". People strive to ride a horse in order to rise above the crowd, to show themselves. On a carousel, you are always on some kind of dais, like on a stage.
The peculiarity of the carousel is the movement in a circle, over and over again you return to the same point from which you started. This symbolizes the futility of being, no matter what a person does, it cannot escape from the "magic circle". The participants of the carousel are mesmerized, they are ready to spin forever. Look how people who have stepped off the carousel are confused, staggering, dizzy. Ask them what they would like to do, and they will answer you: return to the merry-go-round and circle endlessly.
