Are you questioning that it’s a masterpiece or why it should be taught in schools?

For the latter it’s because issues students deal with in school directly parallel those in the story.

The parallel is in the perpetuation of destructive societal practices in the name of tradition, and in people being in favor of those destructive practices until it affects them: then it's suddenly not fair.

You can find that situation in so many places in modern culture that there's no point listing any, it's like looking for air.
