Maybe, Anolek is a reflection of the enemy from within, ki setzei lamilchama al oyvecha, the true enemy, the yetzer hara. A king came home after a great baftle and was happy being victorious, so he was told that now comes the real battle, the war against the yetzer hara, our bad inclination. The Chasan Sofer expains what it says vayhi kedibro elov yom yom as by Eishes Potifar to Yosef. When simeone has good merchandise, he does niot have to be a nudge to convince one to buy, the merchandice speaks for itself, only the yetzer hara speaks oinstantly to convince someone because he has nothing good to sell.
