"Compared to him I look like a young man"
Again, embodying the theme of Marxism, Pozzo seems to imply that because of his wealth, and since his social class dictates that he musn't do anything, and must leave all heavy labour to his slave, Lucky, he says he appears to be a young man.
This can be directly related to the song Young Forever.
In the song, the Jay-Z and Mr.Hudson say:
"Forever Young:
Forever young,
I wanna be forever young
Money makes you young
Slamming Bentley doors,
Hopping out of Porsche’s,
Popping up on Forbes lists,
Gorgeous"
This again shows a similar Marxist understanding, as he says because he slams Bentley doors, hops out of Porsches, is covered as one of the most wealthiest men on the Forbes list, he is "forever young"
In both scenarios, a marxist perspective shows that with absurd amounts of wealth, one can effectively attain a feeling of youth.
