A man can be destroyed, but not defeated.

Why was he so enamored with communism?

I feel like his characters go through hell and life drags them through the dirt but they still remain hopeful and try to put up a fight. I think that's what grants them a strange sort of victory in the end. They got up when they were knocked down.

>>25271461
Because he felt the common, working man was the highest expression of humanity, that it was man as a mountain mover and civilization builder, man as he feeds all and dies for few

>kills himself
I guess in the end, only man can defeat himself.
