Lineman Thiel

Thiel's struggles seem deeply tied to his social position and personal fate. I'm curious how the author’s depiction comments on societal expectations at the time.

The story leaves a lot open to interpretation, especially regarding Thiel's resignation. What feelings did the ending evoke for others?

The choice of such a seemingly mundane figure as Thiel adds a layer of depth—I'm interested in what motivated this focus and how it reflects broader themes.
