And yet there is also the fact that "the other man" is signified by the mask left at the party. I believe there is deeper subtext revealed here by Kubrick related to the tensions between petite bourgeois morality (and "Dr. Bill" is solid Upper East Side petite bourgeois) and the moral position held by "Hungarian" aristocrats who may or may not wear red robes while playing Grand Master in a ritualized ruling elite social gathering. A tearful and oddly emasculated "admission" by Dr. Bill follows.
