A lesson in existentialism.
‘Over time he becomes convinced that inanimate objects and situations encroach on his ability to define himself, on his intellectual and spiritual freedom; his disgust towards his existence forces him into near-insanity, self-hatred.
In his resolution he accepts the indifference of the physical world to man’s aspirations. He is able to see that realisation not only as a regret but also as an opportunity. People are free to make their own meaning: a freedom that is also a responsibility, because without that commitment there will be no meaning.’
