The Son's failure to let his poor mother live her life the way she wanted for the last time, despite making painstaking sacrifices, distresses the readers and hence provides evidence to the theme of male chavamism, in which Sophy cannot make her own decesions regarding her life. After her death, a "young....priest" is shown to be mourning her which is paradoxical since luck hasn't favoured her plight throughout the story and as soon as it does, he vetoes it. This brings immense pain to Sophy whose last wish is left unfulfilled by her son and her soul can hence be predicted to not be resting in peace. Hence Hughes vividly brings out the son's mistakes to the readers and he hence portrays the "inexorable" "gentleman" to have learn his lesson, as can be seen by the metaphor of him looking "as black as a cloud...there".
