Proves that in Greene's fiction, people are not necessarily "good" or "evil" but rather their actions. Schaffner's judgment and punishment is brutal but from it comes a small glimmer of humanity from an otherwise amoral and very memorable white-collar crook. See my mention of it in my piece on Graham Greene adaptation for The L Magazine.
