Alienation and marginalization

• Arthur represents the forgotten underclass, individuals who slip through the cracks of society
• His experiences speak to a broader feeling of alienation in a world increasingly dominated by inequality, technology, and social fragmentation
• His marginalization culminated in his infamous statement:
