Arthur thinks most people live like sardines and are easily caught. But at sixteen he doesn't want to be packed head to tail, tail to head, into a tin coffin. He wants to be 'Somebody'. He wants to get away from home where his mother has taken up with the lodger, to dress how he wants, to do as he wishes. But being 'Somebody' for Arthur means joining a gang, being a bum, and an adulterer, and eventually, involvement in a murder.
