What do you think the different parts of Omelas (setting, townspeople, flute player, etc) represent? How do these reveal the meaning and theme of the story?

I think, Omelas is not a perfect city as represented in the story.

Explanation:

In the story, Omela is described as a perfect city. The city is beautiful because it has mountains and the sea. People enjoy there by having summer festivals with funfilled activities. The impression of story was that people consider it as a perfect city with a perfect life. However, in reality, it is not as perfect because the people are poor and lived there without any privileges. Also, people are not attracted to music (flute) because they live in a stressed environment and cannot enjoy the music as they should.
