My Initial Opinions About Mr. Goliadkin.

Honestly my initial opinion of Mr. Goliadkin is that he is a schizophrenic.  As his double seems to conform to himself so well.  His speech his long drawn out thought process leading to other ideas which subordinate his original purpose, all of it makes me think he is not sane.  As well the whole shopping escapade just to look rich in my opinion was ridiculous.  All in all I think we can derive a lot from the way this man acts though.  Because his actions directly connect class and status to undermining the inferior person.  He is always placed below others no matter how he tries to assert himself due mostly to his class and idealism of no boundries.  As well the division of classes really gives us an idea of the time period.  Additionally the idealism of his double working within the same place and his bosses not caring or noticing at all is quite trivial and twisted.  To me it seems that Mr. Goliadkin is out of his mind.  Yet he is always portrayed as a hero.  Reflecting on this makes me think that he could be a hero in trying to bridge a gap between classes for example the rich and the poor.  His actions to hide and not be seen by numerous on lookers as well throughout the beginning of the story portray him as a little unique within this story.
