It explores deeply the subjective and symbolic violence of the exploitation and destruction of migrant workers. The beautiful prose fantasizes the horrid conditions and everyday struggles that plague the family. With one misstep they are crushed beneath the societal system that is meant to even out the playing field. They are set up to fail. The focus is not truly

    Lord Emsworth relies on his butler to put his hat on and to take the cap off his new telescope. Much of the story’s humour derives from the dialogue‚ with even the butler given choice lines.
