Some other imagery is that which is presented in El Sur where the man has many varied images as he is dying. The narrator in the story describes his trajectory after a motorcycle accident. He sees himself being taken by a tribe and he does not understand what is going on in fact there is a point when he is wondering whether he is upside down or rightside up.
In another story of Borges titled La Muerte y La Brujula there is gory imagery of stabbings and deaths. There is also imagery involving shapes where the killings are based on the four letters of the tetragrammaton which is a religious allusion to the four letter name of God which cannot be pronounced "YHVH". In this case it is supposed because of this that when the settings of the murders commited are connected they should form a square. This is how the detective pinpoints the setting of the last murder before it occurs not knowing that it will be his own death.
In El Otro there is the imagery of the split personality because Borges divides himself into two people. The young naive and hopeful Borges and the older wise Borges whose life is winding down. There is an image that permeates throughout this piece where Borges is sitting on a Bench and he actually sitting next to his younger self. He even has a conversation with his younger self. It is an incredible mental image for the reader because the reader can actually imagine this happening and with the magical realism involved it appears to be credible.
