Message - Reggie Smothers Frances (male domination) - when she wears the gloves, she wears them because reggie likes them. She says she doesnt even know what she likes anymore.

Message -Mental Illness and crime can have catastrophic consequences - self harm (frances) and harm to others (Ronnie). (2 above)

Message - The failure of police to control criminal activity - The Kray's get away with so much even killing people.

Message - Ronnie is jealous of Reggie - When Reggie first met Frances, Ronnie Lashes out to get his attention.

Message -Brotherly relationships mean more than spouse relationships - When Frances meets Reggie's family, Reggie goes upstairs to a meeting with his gang rather than sitting with his wife. He then goes out with them and leaves her. Ronnie told his boyfriend to get out of the bathroom so that he could speak to his brother.

Message - The Krays were very ambitious - they always want more power.

Message - The Krays are invulnerable - they become more and more powerful and feel like they are
invulnerable.

Message - Ronnie Is homosexual - This is unusual for the time period, however it increases his vulnerability as he has a lack of care and his family also turn a blind eye.
