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.
