This novel will explore the human psychology through fictitious circumstances and caricatures (anthropomorphism). The book is introduced by the narrator, who is also the main character. He is retelling his soliloquy. The setting revolves around the narrator's self created world in which he thrives in. This world is known only to him and blind to all humanity. It is his escape. Through dialogue with salient characters and apparitions the reader will understand that our protagonist is hostile towards society and shuns it; that this world was made out of trauma. Quite immediately the reader will come to understand the protagonist and sympathize with his proceedings. However, carrying on through the narration the true origin and ethos of our protagonist will create a more antagonistic and sinister view towards him. He, alone, is the most threatening thing to his existence. In a broad context this novel will examine traits of humanity that our narrator despises. Traits that he accuses and lays conviction to regarding his aversion towards conformity and society. The self created world is his 'Kingdom', in which he is in full control, but rather soon, the reader will begin to see that it is the kingdom which controls him, as society and his actuality did once before. What is then to be expected but incongruity and hostility? 

This is but one segment of the novel. However, following along should not be so difficult or troublesome.
