He recalls past events that highlight his conflicts with society. In his youth, he deliberately bumps into an officer, but the officer ignores him. After being humiliated at a reunion with former schoolmates, he plots revenge but ultimately fails to act. He meets a prostitute named Liza and engages in a sentimental conversation, feeling sympathy and pretending to be her moral savior. However, when Liza later visits him, he insults and drives her away. Consumed by self-loathing, he persists in meaningless defiance, further isolating himself from society. In the end, he declares that he will stop writing, leaving his monologue unfinished.
