Do you think they ever intended to let the men go?

Spoilers...

There are elements of the two men who are building the wall being the other two men's playthings. It's all a game to the rich, and not even a eal important one -- they never come to the field once to see the progress. I don't think they ever had any intention of letting these two men ever leave. Do you?

Who do you think beat up Pozzi? (I think it was the caretaker.) Do you think they ever really took him to the hospital? (I don't.)

Do you think there are messages here about society... about how the rich take advantage of the poor, about how not to reach above your status, etc? And about how status is the luck of the draw?

That's what I see.

I read the book twice and watched this piece of art a dozen...

Yes, I think that they are rich bastards, but they have an intention to let Pozzi and Nashe go.. And this is very clear for me at the the end, he paid his debt, he is free to go.

But I must agree with you about Pozzi (he died), although I don't think it was the caretaker (Calvin), but his nephew Floyd who was the person responsible to knock he out.

As for the message for the society and so on... Well, I don't quite agree with you. For me it was a game, a card game with money. And if you lose, you MUST pay for it. We can talk maybe about greed and so on, but even so, if you don't have a four of aces or a full royal in your hands, you must play safe.
