Peele didn’t quite bring all of the elements of the movie together to the climax in the way that the writer wished Mr. Peele would.

Evil never dies and revenge always wins or at least in horror

From the start of the movie, you see that Duncan has such low self-confidence because Trent severely belittles Duncan.
