The Underground Man

The Underground Man's actions are all from his thoughts and acute consciousness. The Underground man always thinks way to hard into certain things that happen to him. Whenever something happens to him he always thinks very hard into it on what he should do. The thing is that you would think he would make good decisions from thinking hard and long, but in reality he always makes horrible decisions from thinking to much into things that happen to him. For example, when he runs into the officer and the officer moves him out of the way it devastates him. This causes him to think very hard about what he should do to get back at him. Ultimately he decides to bump into the officer while walking by him with his shoulders. When he does this he thinks he is so bad for doing it and feels better. Another example of the Underground Man's acute consciousness actions are when he went out to diner and he showed up an hour early. Because of this he thought the people were not going to show up so he thought about what he was going to do for an hour until they actually showed up. This shows that he never makes decisions on the spot and always has to think about them because he is not a man of action, but a man of acute consciousness, which is said in part 1.

Rooster

Rooster is an old man that a girl named Matti hired. The girls father died and she becomes very upset. She wants to go out and find her fathers killer and by doing so she hires the man named Rooster. Rooster is an old man and also a marshal. He goes into Indian country to find fugitives that are wanted for cash. Rooster is an alcoholic who does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. He will do almost anything if he is offered enough money to do so. My first impression of Rooster is that he is just an ass and doesn't care about much except for getting money and buying alcohol. Everyday he is usually getting drunk and searching for fugitives. My first impression I thought when Matti hired him he was just going to do a half ass job and not really care that much about finding her fathers killer. My impression changed towards the end of the movie when Matti is captured by the fugitives and Rooster has to head back or they will kill her. At first I though Rooster actually left Matti alone, but when the fugitives saw he had headed back he came back to save her. This shows his dedication and actual feelings towards Matti. Rooster can definitely be a drunk who loves money, but he can also be caring.

Underground Man

The Underground man is both the narrator and the protagonist in the story. The Underground man lives underground away from all society. He has completely shut himself off from the world and doesn't want to have any contact with the society. He doesn't want to be with the outside world but rather isolated because he believes that he is more intelligent than anyone else. Even though he believes to be more intelligent he stills feels scared or inferior from the rest of the world. He finds himself to be made fun of by the rest of society so all he wants is to be isolated from everyone else. My first impressions of the Underground man are that he is a sheltered person and doesn't like a lot of interaction. He is one of those people who doesn't like to be apart or noticed in a group of people. He also seems kind of mean with the ways he says some things in the beginning. I feel as if he actually needs attention to be happy, but he believes what he really wants is to be alone and by himself.
