Question for other viewers

I put in my VHS copy of this film in the video player tonight so my mother-in-law could see the film with the Stuart Oderman score for the first time and I noticed something near the end of the film that I had not really noticed before. I wonder if anyone else noticed it too.

Near the end of the film, the scene when Alwa, Lulu and Schigolch are in the London Doss with the broken window and the cold wind whipping through, I noticed that Alwa, who is walking around hopelessly because Lulu has to go out and earn money for food and lodgings, knowing what she plans to do, he walks by a hanging rope or noose and stops to look at it. I never really noticed it before but I wonder if that was meant to foreshadow that as he walks away at the end following the Salvation Army group not realizing that Lulu has been murdered, if this was meant to foreshadow that he was going to commit suicide once he realized that Lulu was lost to him for good.

I would be interested to know what everyone else thinks about that.
