What are your intial thoughts of Mr. Goliadkin?
At the beginning of the story I thought he was a looked down upon co-worker of high people. He seemed mental in some ways like the way he talks and has problems talking to others. He is hard to understand and get to know. I kind of feel bad for Petrushka having to deal with him everyday. Towards the ending of todays readings I began to feel sympathy for the guy. He finds a double him, befriends him and gets stabbed in the back the next day at work. He already is a bottom of the food chain guy at work but with his double excelling at work makes him seem even lower than before in position. To me Mr. Goliadkin is a confused man that is trying to hard to live life. He is full of worries and anxiety. His desire to be accepted and play it cool is too strong for himself to actually pull off. He wants bigger things in life before he has worked on the little things. This mental man is getting his mind played with and hopefully he can figure it out and come out on top of this whole mess that he created with his double.
I agree this is very true he must of had mental issues interesting post. I like it.
