The story touches on the themes of destitution, deprivation, rejection, happiness, death, and life after death. The little girl of the story does not have a life of luxury or comfort. She loiters the streets to sell matchsticks in order to procure a single meal.

According to Klausner, the human ear actually can’t hear everything. Any sounds that are so low-pitched or so high-pitched that one can’t hear it at all whereas a dog can. And up the scale, higher than the vibration of that a whistle, there is another vibration and it keeps going on, an endless succession of vibrations as far as the numbers go, which is infinity. There is a whole world of sound about human all the time that we cannot hear. It is possible that up there in those high-pitched inaudible regions there is a new exciting music being made, with subtle harmonies and fierce grinding discords, powerful enough to drive humans mad if they could hear it. So he has made a machine that can prove him the existence of many odd inaudible sounds.

The doctor is intrigued by a black box which was the size of a coffin and almost three feet long. The top of the box was open and displayed the numerous colorful wares and silver tubes inside it. The sheer complexity of the box intrigued the doctor to know more about it. To add to the Doctor’s curiosity was his strange patient, who was caught up so excitedly with the box that he behaved rather strangely.
His deft handling of the innards of the box, his enthusiasm, and his rapt attention had made the doctor inquisitive about what he was up to. The patient’s attempt was to create a sound machine that would allow humans to hear the high-pitched voices otherwise inaudible to the human ear. The “strange patient” offered to satisfy the curious mind of the doctor by explaining the entire theory behind his innovation of the sound machine.
