At that time, Wall Street had become an important financial center in America. As regards the year of publication, the work was first published in 1953 which was a time of rapid development in American economy.
The story takes place in a law office in Manhattan. The office presents an <u>unfriendly environment</u> that resembles the <u>business-based atmosphere of Wall Street</u>. The space is described as “<em>entirely unhallowed by humanizing domestic associations</em>” (p.36). In that way, the author describes the <u>impersonality of a business society</u>.

Also, the word “walls” is repeated many times throughout the story and they refer to the barriers between employer and employee.
