•taken internal contradictions and turned them into a rigid identity: man vs wolf
•completely different parts of identity pulling toward different things. All are real. How can they coexist?
•existential confusion of how humans are supposed to live, standing outside of it
•doesn’t recognize the other “flowers” in himself he’s reduced himself to categories
•intellectualization= becomes an obstacle
