Allan's journey reveals the vast differences between the wealthy elite and the struggling workers, shining a light on social class and money. As Allan navigates high-society gatherings and meets key people related to his father, he faces political tensions and socialist ideas. His experiences and clash with a passionate advocate for social change highlight the human consequences of economic growth and provides a close look at social inequality.
