The
juxtaposition
of the Doctor's
passive
stare and Myrtle's
peculiarly intensive gaze
Is telling in that both eyes are
ineffective
View source
The
Doctor's eyes
May watch over everything that happens among the
tragic humans
, but they ultimately cannot
intervene
to
prevent
disasters
View source
Myrtle's jealousy
Blinds

misunderstand
the identity of the driver of the
yellow
car, and eventually runs
infront
of it,
dying a violent death
View source
Highlighting the themes of
Moral decay
and
Illusion
versus Reality
The doctor is referred to as
god
, and the fact they do not do anything to prevent disaster emphasises that the people's
'God'
no longer has
morals
