This story reminds me of the Angra Mainiiu story from Zoroastrianism

My own interpretation of this classic story has generally leaned into the concept of moral courage - if an injustice anywhere really is an injustice everywhere, does one really feel that in one's bones enough to reject an evil that has benefits. It's a troubling question and I can't for the time being really know where I fall on it. It's interesting to me that, like The Masque of the Red Death (also covered on the show), this story has almost no dialogue and lacks many of the usual character interactions, yet still manages to be moving just through provoking thought about how a society operates under certain circumstances. The story's consideration of the possible lack of need for conflict in a narrative is intriguing, yet it almost seems to serve the purpose here of lulling the reader into a false sense of security right before revealing the horror at the heart of the story. - "Oh, but by the way, actually, there IS going to be a source of potential conflict here though, and here it is..."
