The Underground Man Blog 2

• Blog – Comment on the underground man’s actions. How is acting here in relationship to the claims he made in Part 1?

In the latest chapters the Underground Man has gone against what he had said in the opening chapters. He goes against from what he says in the first chapter because he now completely agrees with what he had said. The Underground Man is a strange man, he wants to get revenge on anyone who has wronged him and ends up stalking a police officer. He starting stalking the police officer because the officer had initially bumped into the Underground Man, which he found very disrespectful because he felt as though the officer didn’t even, notice him. For revenge he decided he would bump into the officer, but he wanted to make sure the officer wouldn’t notice him so he changes clothes constantly. The Underground Man ultimately fails at this strange attempt at what he calls “revenge.” The Underground Man is very self-conscious by making is so that other people see him as he wants to be seen as. The story then goes on to tell of a dinner party that the Underground Man goes to with some friends. Of course, he doesn’t like any of these people but he decided to attend anyway. The time was moved forward an hour but the Underground Man never got the memo. He shows up, waits, and once the party started yells at the people, telling them how unjust their actions were. As we knew from earlier in the book the Underground Man likes to see other peoples pain.
