Housman recalls the time the athlete won a race, gaining him public appreciation, "Man and boy stood cheering by; And home we brought you shoulder-high". The speaker relates this joyous time to the present, where "Shoulder-high we bring you home; And set you at your threshold down".

This uninhibited behavior by Alex is what leads to his eventual downfall. While living in a society where Alex was free to take things into his own hands, where he is able to rape, torture, and murder at his own discretion, he was experiencing a lifestyle free of oppression, moral, or immoral.

During the course of the play, conflicts between Beneath and her brother Walter are revealed. Walter thinks that his sister should be a mainstream woman and not have great dreams and ambitions for her life. "Who the hell told you you had to be a doctor?
