The economy, for example, represents a variety of concepts - it represents the balance and structure of the universe, and David feels as though it's his responsibility to study and watch it. David's obsession with the economy can be seen as a metaphor for obsession with religion and the belief of a higher power, which causes him to question his existence in "It's An Economic Snowfall". His obsession with it could also be seen as a metaphor for depression and the need to find purpose in life.

* ''Art/TheSevenDeadlySinsDix'': The {{painting|s}} as a whole was made to be a {{Satire}} of interwar German society. Each of the SevenDeadlySins reflects a different, negative facet that has led to Fascism taking over. Greed, Gluttony, and Envy (who looks like Hitler) together mean that the fascists' ambition for a "better Germany" is jealousy over what other countries have. Sloth looks like the reaper because it signifies how complacency to tyranny leads to death and suffering. Lust represents both hunger for power and the ability to sell one's dignity to obtain riches. Wrath's demonic appearance represents how people lost their humanity when enraged. Along with Lust, it's the root of discrimination. Pride is a literal take on getting big-headed out of arrogance.
