    The way I see this fight is that Frank had a false consciousness and was resisting putting on the sunglasses and learning about the truth because of that same false consciousness. John has already put the glasses on and seen the truth, so he’s developed true consciousness and is fighting with everything he’s got to bring Frank over.

    So it’s like a communist vs. false conscious working class moment or an “allegory of the cave”-type situation.
