The underground man from "Notes From Underground" by Fyodor Dostoevsky seems to be someone who is constantly contradicting himself and in result inflicting suffering on himself. The underground man seems to despise himself for so many reasons throughout each chapter but at the same time he believes that he is more intelligent than everyone around him. Because of him feeling more intelligent than everyone else he puts this kind of responsibility on himself that everything that he does is his own fault no matter what.
The underground man keeps inflicting misery and suffering on himself because of his constant realization that everything that has happened and will happen to him is his and only his fault. It seems his extreme self consciousness is what makes him who he is.
