The ideas intertwine and become more complex

            I further indulged myself into the novel in these next fifteen pages. The author touches upon some really interesting topics, which makes me want to consider him as more of a genius than an idiot. He does contradict himself further, but only because he is trying to convince himself. Every person goes through this process, and is not able to deny it. Throughout a thought process, one is going to consider both sides. In this case, the narrator wanted his emotions to be sincere, which I believe they are. But he is able to convince himself otherwise, and makes himself believe they are a misconception of his emotion.

            I also find the topic of boredom interesting. This intertwines with the idea of a free man versus a defined man. A man should not act as he should, but society seems to enforce these rules. I keep seeing recurring criticism about society, which I partly agree with. But some of it is just exaggerated.
