Garland masterfully presents a commentary on paradise lost and the corrupting influence of human nature, maintaining a suspenseful and thought-provoking tone throughout. The story illustrates the fragility of perceived perfection and the inevitable descent into chaos when societal structures erode. It is a powerful and unforgettable work of modern fiction.
