Walter Mitty's Pathetic Life


Walter Mitty was a pathetic character because he had no self confidence.
He had to make up stuff to be what he wanted. He also let his wife order him
around.
His self confidence was so low that he was afraid to stand up for himself.
He automaticly assumed everyone was putting him down. He didn't even try to do
things for himself-parking his own car. He didn't have much confidence in
himself.
He daydreamed all the time about what he wanted to be because he didn't
have a very exiteing life. He dreamed he was a doctor, pilot, convict, etc. On
acount of his boring life he dreamed of having a realy exiting life.
His wife made him do things that he did not think were necessary, but he
did them anyway because he was afraid to stand up for himself. She made him
wear his boots and gloves and told him not to sit in a certain chair in the
hotel.
Overall Mitty has no self confidence about himself or the way other
people look at him. He lets his wife order him around. It is because of these
things that he makes up a world were he can be the superhero.
