The novel appears to, more often than not, deal with society’s anxiety surrounding the turn of the century. Marsh analyses the opposing views of sexuality and femininity through the exchange of sexual manipulation in the novel. By numerous means of sexually influenced interferences, and the degenerate figure of the colonized, The Beetle builds a sort of parallel between the practices of the British Empire, allowing the British characters to see their individual wrongdoings in a horrific other form.
