"And the fever getting higher"

I have come to notice that there are five cities that are either in memory, desire, have signs etc.... Now I'm concentrating on Cities and Desires. Again we are introduced to five new cities: Dorothea, Anastasia, Despina, Fedora and Zobeide. These cities are filled with desires that are not sufficient in quenching the visitors thirst for more.

"Before then I had only the desert and the caravan routes. In the years that followed, my eyes returned to contemplate the desert expanses and the caravan routes; but now I know this path is the only one of the many that opened before me on that morning in Dorothea" (Cities and Desires 1). With its magnificent quarters and women in Dorothea, it is every man's desire to be there. Though staying there to long for visitors will want them to go back having their desires fulfilled.
The desire to own and buy everything is found in Anastasia. Desires surrounds finally drags oneself into manipulation becoming the slave of consumerism.
"The city displays one face to the traveler arriving overland and a different one to him who arrives by sea."( City and desire 3). Despina shows each visitor with what he wants to see. Though, the visitor coming by sea has already been quenched by its desire and is repeatedly experiencing the same journey and willing to go by land and vise versa with the land visitor.
Fedora, the city in which its citizens go to museums in search of what could have been their city. Desires not becoming real lead them to fantasize.
"After the dream they set out in search of that city; they never found it, but they found another; they decided to build a city like the one in the dream." (Cities and Desires 5). Zobeide, the city that was built to be something else. The desire to pursue a dream meant to build something fraud.

Each desire in the city brought unhappiness to its people as desire started to grow and grow never being fulfilled.
