Keri's first discussion post

I thought the discussion today about "Notes of the Underground" was intellectual and thorough. I agreed with many of the points brought up. I agreed with Ryan when he said that the narrator is blunt and pessimistic. I also agreed with him when he said that the narrator lacks confidence and is passive aggressive. I thought the point brought up about superstition was interesting. In general, I really do not believe in most superstitions that others have. I just do not think that inanimate objects can have an effect  on the lives of humans. In addition to this, I thought it was rather interesting that the narrator is rather intelligent yet chooses not to see a doctor for his ailments. You would think an intelligent man like him would know better.
It was cool to see how the narrator always has both sides of every situation in mind when he interacts with others and makes decisions. However, this often causes him to be rude to others. I still hold true to the fact that this rude behavior is due to his desire to inflict his inner suffering on other people. In this way, everything in his life is a game to him.
