he's a representative of the British Empire and feels he ought to be in control of things; in reality he knows the crowd expect him to shoot the elephant and only does it (against his own will) because he will look a fool in front of them if he doesn't. So: who exactly is in charge here, the ruler or the ruled?
There isn't a clear answer to that, and I think he's suggesting the same is true of imperialism generally - very complicated, neither as good or as bad, as black or as white, as people think.
