Why did he insist on hanging out with people who clearly hated him? Why did he reject the one girl who liked him?

Yes because I'm not a bugman, I was going to read the second half today you rude-ass! It varies with what and when I read.

Incel is a modern concept. He's a nihilist atheist who rationalizes his caprice instead of tackling them.

No, it hasn't, not even in the slightest way. The novel is still meant to be experienced as and for a novel, what fucking retard would think the point of it is a philosophical abstract?

>> No.14786258

>>14786116
Did you read the first half of the novel? It's theory. The second half is the application of that theory.

>Did you read the first half of the novel? It's theory.
Anon, I... how could you actually say this? You're telling me you literally took the first part of the book as a philosophical treatise and not as art? One must consider the ideas held within it philosophically, naturally, of modernity and all that- but you cannot take it as "theory", it's story.

It's not a fucking suspense novel. And the OP is so vague, I can barely consider it a spoiler. Like saying C&P's Raskolnikov turns himself in and goes to Siberia might be a spoiler, but honestly I don't think it would ruin it to know it. I was spoiled reading C&P and The Idiot, but not Demons, and I actually wish I was spoiled on Demons; I enjoyed The Idiot and C&P more and would have rather known more about Demons going in.

But NFU is a philosophical/non-suspense novel that doesn't have the kind of ending that is really "spoilable". Like do you really expect Dostoevsky's underground man to have a happy ending?

Well don't click on this unless you want to know that Rogozhin kills Nastasya Filippovna in The Idiot, and that Pyotr Steponovich kills Shatov in Demons.

He's obsessed with status. Even his personal writings are addressed to an invisible audience of higher status individuals than himself. When he finds himself in the superior position he rejects her because he operates under societal laws of status. Not society as it is, but the monstrous version he has constructed because of his obsession with status.
