Happiness is a virtue seen differently in everyone's eyes. Happiness represents what that person might want, need, or simply what makes others happy. A single person cannot define happiness with one word, it is a dynamic that constantly changes depending on the individual's circumstances, beliefs, hobbies and more. Therefore happiness exists among human beings, it is a way of life, however not everyone achieves happiness. Ignatius being an irritating and self-centered man, cannot experience true happiness unless we truly try to understand his mind. The story revolves around him, how others influence him and how he deals with it. In a serious event the true nature of ingenuity is revealed. For example, the plot is not just about a fat man whose ego is bigger than his belly, but about the sense of what is right, about ethics in American workers, especially black workers. From page 142 to 149 he develops a psychotic development to help the works because their pay is low, 30 pounds a week, leading him to find a social cause. Unfortunately the ignacious search fails. To actually find an instrument of justice he decided to lead a revolt. We have to leave a Levy Pants ransacked and looted, we have to fight fire with fire,” he tells these workers 160. After giving directions to the group of workers by waving “fence posts, broom handles, bicycle chains and bricks” (160 ), Ignatius abandons himself and the protest fades. His leadership of the revolt is noticed and he is promptly fired. What does this lead to? so what. Even if it's about wealth, love or fame, the thing that never changes about the American dream is that everyone wants... middle of paper... yet Ignatius isn't as terrible as everyone would think he defines what society wants in a person, what they took years to shape and support. It's as if they have ingrained the idea that people have to follow orders and have to get a job, get money and then work for the rest of their lives. they live and then die. As if life revolved around work. As if we were robots. The only good thing about Ignazio is that he refuses to work and chooses to stay outside the box. Allowing him to not care that he doesn't see things the way normal people would. I wonder if the story interprets society and how an outsider, someone who can understand the power of society, treats people. As Ignatius would be the part within the people who simply wish to rebel and take a stand, seeing him from society and people with power it would be understandable to see him as a repugnant and absolutely humiliating character.
