SMI's presence in Eva's life is symbolized and embodied by the efficient, calculating Jane Calloway. Her presence and representation of SMI's interests, not to mention the agreement she proposes, awaken echoes of what many analysts and commentators, referring to contemporary culture and society, see as an increasing de-individualization of humanity in favor of supporting and sustaining a corporate, profit-driven, exploitative mentality.
