Positive Messages
Story initially seems to embrace idea that, yes, things are sometimes unfair, and send the message that someone "bad" can become successful and powerful while someone "good" is punished, even when trying to set things right. But final moment casts a new light on the idea, asking what all of this has to do with a person's identity and how we perceive it. It's a complex theme but very much worth pondering.
