Greene masterfully illustrates the absurdity of bureaucracy and the fine line between truth and deception with a witty and suspenseful tone. The story details the protagonist's struggle to maintain his charade while navigating genuine threats and moral dilemmas. It ultimately argues for the human cost of political machinations and the unexpected heroism found in ordinary lives.
