In John Galsworthy's work "Quality," the figure of speech often centers around the theme of craftsmanship and the value of quality over mass production. The phrase "the quality's dead" metaphorically captures the decline of genuine craftsmanship in favor of commercialism and mediocrity.

Galsworthy's use of this figure serves to evoke nostalgia for a time when dedication to quality was paramount.
