You could say this almost a message about mental health in a way.
Give a man, who is not well off, has a pretty terrible job, and not the best places mentally, and then put him in a situation where he can take full advantage of his surroundings and have no repercussions when he does so and he will delve into the madness. The unfortunate part is that it is human, given the circumstances the protagonist's background it is understandable that he took the actions he did, that doesn't mean they are justified, only understandable.
I find it similar to the Stanford Prison Experiment (you can read about it on Wikipedia if you don't know about it), people taking of the position they have due to the lack of consequences, I suppose this is, in a way, a more appealing way to show human nature. Using sex, a action done by two (usually) individuals as a form of proof of love and companionship, that appeals to audiences that were born years after the experiment to show how corrupt a human can be given power.
I know this might be a bit all over the place, but lemme get to the point.
The protagonist is simply relying on his instinct and emotions to get what he want, disregarding what the others wish for and only trying to benefit himself from it. It is simply human to take advantage of such a situation.
