It has come to my attention that the Underground Man is not only a danger to the public's mental health but, is also a raging masochist that has gone too far. The Underground Man, or UM for short, is in fact searching for different ways to torture, humiliate, and frustrate himself. It is where he obtains the most amount of pleasure and can actually feel at ease. Now, the only reason why I bring up this point is because, I find it very disturbing that many people find this tale to be riveting and actually good. I believe that the story is horrible and is in poor taste due to the fact that the story revolves around the topic of: receiving pleasure from suffering. Not too mention, the messages that Dostoyevsky leaves between the lines for the reader to find and understand are actually horrendous in the sense that they provide no actual lesson worth learning.
