Part 10/12:
The narrative satirizes societal institutions, with characters discussing legal issues, debts, police interventions, and bureaucratic red tape. Jimson faces threats of eviction, legal disputes over paintings, and financial difficulties—all portrayed with a humorous, exaggerated tone. Figures like Sir William Beader reign over art commerce, symbolizing the disconnect between artistic integrity and commercial greed.
Amidst this chaos, Jimson’s interactions with characters like police officers and wealthy patrons reveal a satirical commentary on societal hierarchies and the absurdity of bureaucratic procedures, often complicating rather than aiding Jimson’s turbulent life.
