To me, the purpose of this story (other than
entertainment) is to show that people can change their ways and act in ways that are not
expected of them.
In this story, everyone thinks that Young
Gillian is a total playboy and wastrel. And it really is true. He has been very much
like that and he deserves what people think of him.
Even
so, he changes his ways by the end of the story. Instead of being selfish and immature,
he does something that is really very noble. He acts in a way that is totally different
from what you would expect given what he has shown in the
past.
So I think this is a story of change and redemption,
showing us that it is never too late for us to change and improve ourselves and our
behaviors.
