The underground man

Who is the ‘underground man’? What are your first impressions of him?


The underground man seems very curious to me. So far, he known to be a middle aged man with a liver problem which he doesn't pay attention to. I think the impression he is giving off when he refuses to go to the doctor is a bit childesh. He does go to the doctor and understands he has had this disease for 20 years but yet will not get it fixed. He wants people to think he is a tough guy who can deal with problems, but really can't. He seems to be alienated from the people and things surrounding him. He gives off the feeling that he is better than everyone and his ideas are much more better than the people around him. He also seems very indecisive about his decisions. He know that he is very educated and has knowledge which might make him think he is better than other people.
