I wonder why the landowner thought the tenants would respect his son? They just beat and killed mostly everyone else that he had sent already. You gotta figure the same thing is going to keep happening. Why not just wipe them out early on, when you realize that the tenants are being jerks. But I suppose it is meant to show that the landowner is compassionate, not wanting to dole out harsh judgement right away. In the end, they do get thrown out. I think the moral is that even though these tenants were chosen, that didn't mean they had a free ticket to the end. It was still within the landowners power to replace them. Not arbitrarily, mind you, but certainly as a result of their insolence.
