ITT: Characters from literature that remind you of yourself.

For me it's the Underground Man - intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humor

That book is a criticism of a decadent type of subterranean freak in pre-socialist Russia. He is not intelligent. He is a fucked up idiot whose brain operates on learned behavior (the duel thing is a parody of medieval romanticist chivalry and 1700s society at the same time). Dostoevsky was against nihilism.

Not getting the joke/reference.

In any case, The Underground Man is a horrible example for a sense of humor. His life is hilarious but he's too busy being a fucking mess to appreciate that.

dude, you're insufferable. stop posturing, just write stuff. how can you be so damned concerned about which literary character you identify with? You are not a character, there are no such things as "characters." All we have are poems and moments of creative and aesthetic choice. Go back 2 buzzfeed, with this roleplaying horseshit you cunt.

I always thought of it more of a sort of "universal" pre-determinism. I guess your idea makes more sense

Underground Man. Feh. He has nothing on the erudition and sophistication of Ignatius Reilly.
