  5. its theme can be from class consciousness perspective, like there is too much b/w upper, lower and middle class and that our respect is not for human being but for their appearances like what they wear, how they look. and it is our this attitude that compel the lower class to look just good by appearance.
    At the end he is shown is dead, maybe not bkz of accident but bkz of shame, it shows the dual nature of man that we humans never want that other may see our reality.
