Why Is Pluto So Lonely

Improved Essays
In a lively city with many shops and crowds of people there is a man who stands out from the happiness. Pluto, a man of mystery and crime, lurks in the shadows. In the day time he stays locked in his family mansion surrounded black stone and wire fences; however, no family is there to be found. Pluto has always been alone. As a child his mother and father were never around, so he learned to take care of himself. As a result of loneliness in childhood, Pluto is currently as lonely or even more so than in the past. At night he ventures out into the world, yet good deeds is not what he intends to do. He creeps into stores and robs them of their gems and jewels, leaving them bare to anything valuable.

He simply walks in, being careful to not sound the alarms, and grabs these items of value. There is no work to it. This explains the bored Pluto is beginning to receive from these small tasks. The demons shouting from inside him want to be satisfied something more, something dangerous, something extreme. He can only suppress these urges for so long before they take over. Once Pluto has snatched the silvers and golds in a backpack, he makes his way out of the now barren shop and heads home. No police chasing after him and no one at home worried about why he was out so late. All of the items he collects are stored underground in a cavern under the mansion. Splashes of red, gold, silver, and white glitter around the cave like structure where the gems are stored. Pluto dumps the bag of jewels onto the pile and retires to bed. It’s the same thing ever night or every few …show more content…
He hurriedly stands on his feet and turns in circles. He is in a large underground mansion that looks like his own. The stolen goods are scattered around the entire living space. There is no exit door to this hell and no way to dig out. Pluto screams into the emptiness of the cave, “What have you done to me witch? Let me out of here!” There is no response and Pluto is left with the company of the souls and himself. The loneliness doubles and he eventually goes mad. Having full conversations with himself and rolling in his stolen gems and jewels. It is dark in this cave all of the time and there is no sign of life to be found, only darkness and

    Frankenstein Reflective Journal After reading the novel Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, I can certainly see that the character Victor Frankenstein himself is isolated and lonely. This is illustrated through each chapter in even more depth as you read deeper into the novel. Victor doesn't epitomize the stereotypical man, pertaining to his level of sensitivity. For a man to be a man, they must act like one, and as cliché as it is, I have concluded that Victor defies this presumption by acting this way and expressing natural emotion more evidently. He is someone who has rejected standard and has been rejected by society because of this.…

    David Foster Wallace’s The Devil Is a Busy Man begins with the sentence “Three weeks ago, I did a nice thing for someone” and begins again the conversation that echoes throughout the rest of his book, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, about the narcissistic nature of man. This story which qualifies the authenticity and “value” of a good deed based on its anonymity does so under the idea that if a good deed is made public by someone who did the deed then it was done more for one’s own personal benefit rather than any altruistic purpose. The nameless, sexless narrator then goes through an existential crisis in which they think that subconsciously they set the situation and acted in such a way as to allow him or her to be caught. Throughout…

This was an area of town that wasn’t great, but was part of an emerging middle class in the Dominican Republic. These people were mostly small business owners and semi-skilled workers, although we didn’t get to meet any of neighbors. That night, a nice surprise, was food from a local pizza shop.…
