It is not a matter of ignoring the preposition. It is a question of what is necessary to commuicate the same idea in English.
le indicates a change of state. In English the prepositioin would be necessary if we were to say, "The man changed into a living soul." The preposition is not needed with the verb "became."
Sincerely,
Michael Abernathy

"So you suggest to ignore prepositions when convenient? Next, shall we ignore

verbs?"
