Why is the underground man in notes from the underground why can't he be above ground?

He's not literally underground- it's just a metaphor for the narrator's descent into ennui and apathy. It's also representative of Dostoevsky's negative argument to validate free will against determinism. But most importantly- it's because he doesn't have a shovel.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
