  • antithesis of preistlys message on social responcibility
  • lack of compassion is tied to his class and capitalist ideologies
  • "i cant accept any responsibility"
  • "as if we were all mixed up together like bees in a hive- community and all that nonsence"

    his intolerance of socialism reinforces how he wont be responsible for anyone inferior to him
  • he is oblivious to the ways in which his actions impact others
  • "obviously it has nothing whatever to do with the wretched girls suicide"
  • his continued rejection of responsibility seems to be a result of arrogance and disrespect for others. accepting blame would be a sign of weakness and imperfection.
