Essay / The Happiness of Ignatus - 920
Happiness is a virtue seen differently in everyone's eyes. Happiness represents what that person might want, need, or simply what makes others happy. One person cannot define happiness with just one word, it is a dynamic that constantly changes depending on the individual's circumstances, beliefs, hobbies and more. Therefore, happiness exists in humans, it is a way of living, but not everyone has achieved happiness. Ignatius being the man, he is an irritating, self-centered human, who can only experience true happiness if we truly try to understand his mind. The story revolves around him on how others affect 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 stomach, but about a sense of what is right, of the ethics of American workers, especially black workers . On pages 142 to 149, he develops a psychotic development to help the works because their salary is low, $30 a week, which leads him to find a social cause. Unfortunately, the ignative quest fails. In order to truly find a means of justice, he decides to lead a revolt. We must leave Levy pants ransacked and looted, we must fight fire with fire,” he said to these workers 160. After giving instructions to the group of workers by waving “fence posts, brooms , bicycle chains and bricks" (160), Ignatius is abandoned and the protest runs out of steam. His leadership in the revolt is noticed and he is immediately fired. What does all this lead to? The American dream, a dream of starting in equality The idea of the American dream is still true today and in the times. Even if it is about wealth, love or fame, the thing that does not. ever changes in the American dream is what everyone desires... middle of paper ... However, Ignatius is not as horrible as everyone would think he defines what society wants. in a person, which took years to model and maintain. It's like they're inserting the idea that people have to follow orders and have to get a job and make money and then work. for the rest of their lives. their life then their death. As if life revolved around work. As if we were robots, the only good thing about Ignatius is that he refuses to work and chooses to think outside the box. Allow him to not care, to not see things as ordinary people would. I am hurt if the story interprets society and how an outsider, someone who can understand the power of society, treats people. How would Ignatius be the part inside of people who just want to rebel and stand up, seen from society and the people in power, it would be understandable to see him as a repulsive and completely humiliating character..
