Underground Man's Actions

Comment on the underground man’s actions. How is acting here in relationship to
the claims he made in Part 1?
In the beginning part of the book, the underground man is described as someone
different that the second part of the book. In the beginning of the book, the
underground man is described as self-centered, but at the same time he is in denial.
He accepts that his liver is in poor condition, but doesn’t want to do anything
about it because he does not want to see a doctor. So in a sense, the beginning of the
book is about the underground man not being “active.”
In the second half of the book, the underground man is still the same. He is still
uncertain about things, but he does not remain inactive. Although he might not be making the smartest decisions, the underground man is transforming into a different person. In this part of the book he goes to a bar where he know he will not be accepted by his fellow piers. They talk and act as if the underground man is not there. The underground man feels very ashamed by his actions. In the later chapters, the underground man sleeps with a prostitute and then in the morning he wakes up and realizes he does not even know her. Starting to feel emotion, the underground man gives her a speech trying to pursue her out of prostitution. When he is done speaking, she mocks him and walks away. Suddenly, the underground man’s feeling turn bitter.
Apparent to the claims the underground man-made in Part 1, he is going with society. He was becoming the active man, content with what he found. Soon enough, he snapped out of this phase and went back to being a stubborn, philosophical man.
