Discuss how working portrayed has been portrayed in the government inspector

The corruption demonstrated by all the characters is on a level far below any grand sort of evil. There are not truly evil bureaucrats pulling the strings of darkness, Gogol suggests, but rather an enormous collective exhibition of inexhaustible mediocrity that, taken together, creates a service of evil.

The real villain of the piece is the complicity of those who accept that bureaucratic tyranny: without them, the tyranny not be sustained.
