When faced with the horrors of the real world we retreat into our safe haven or normality - eating, drinking, working, watching TV.
That's my take on it, anyway. |
Yes but if anything, Stephen CLEARLY represents greed.
Peter's idea of locking up the stores was to show the bikers they can come in, take what they want and leave. They didn't care about them - they just wanted the stuff in the mall. But Stephen didn't want them leaving with anything, so he opened fire. It wasn't a matter of protecting his "home", it was a matter of protecting his stuff.
He didn't care for his safety or for Peter's otherwise, he would have listened and let the bikers take what they want and lock the place back up.
