Notes from Underground

Notes From Underground

Notes from the Underground starts out with the narrator writing about different issues from a philosophical point of view. I found it hard to comprehend a lot of what he was saying. He seems like a very bitter and disturbed man. He was negative about everything he wrote about. Then, when he was done giving his long ramble He would say that he didn’t actually believe anything he had just written. I think that if I knew man like the narrator I would not like him. There’s really only one point in the book where I felt like I could almost feel sympathy for him. When he wrote about the three men and how he felt as though he were less than them. He felt that they spoke down to him, and they were very rude to him. Even though the narrator is not a very nice person, these men are not much better. The narrator also talks about a police man. I thought it was very odd how much effort it took him to attempt to bump into the police man. I wonder why this incident was burned into his memory. It seems as though the narrator is truly troubled when others think of themselves
