Primary
The film explores the universal themes of human passion, societal constraints, and tragic love, focusing on the irreconcilable conflict between individual desires and social obligations without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.

Secondary
The film, a tragedy exploring human desire and its violent consequences, implicitly affirms Buddhist principles regarding the nature of suffering (dukkha) and the karmic repercussions of immoral actions.
