One of the main themes of the film. The progonist ends up dead in the film as he takes his revenge too far and ultimaly killing innocent people. This could signify that revenge can cause people to get caught up in it too much, and ultimaly is a bad thing.
The female protagonist helps the audience assume that manipulting someone to get their love doesn't work either as she is killed at the end of the film.
The film almost uses death as a punishment for wrong-doing. One of the first charaters to be killed is Prielle, who had tried to sell counterfit hair products and treated his slave badly.
Throughout the film, the idea of slitting throats becomes almost "normal" as the protagonist kills his customers so casually, while singing. We as the audience begin to expect the protagonist to kill. At one point, he almost plays with the audience as he doesn't slit the throat of a character straight away when you think he will. This almost makes the audience identify with the protagonist, and becomes just as evil as him, for anticipating the death of an innocent charater.
