The underground man has always felt like an outsider. He doesn't want to be like other people, working in the 'anthill' of society. So he decides to withdraw from the world, scrawling a series of darkly sarcastic notes about the torments he is suffering. Is he going mad? Or is it the world around him that is insane?
