Genius versus idiot

I further believe that the narrator is a genius and not an idiot. This dinner incidents prove this. He is very smart and developed, but cannot act correctly in a social situation. This relates to the lecture we had about IQ. He honestly has no idea ho to act, but does realize that he is sensitive. He keeps pacing, and challenges someone to a duel. This may be due to his drunken state, but I believe that it shows his true personality. He wants to make peace, just does not know how t. This could reflect in all the stories he tells us about his life. I again tend to feel bad for hi, because I am beginning to understand him more, even though the novel is very difficult to read, and get frustrated that others do not understand him. I guess I would have been frustrated with myself at the beginning on the novel when I did not understand him at all.
