Opinion of Mr. Goliadkin

To be honest I feel sorry for the man. It seems like everyone is always picking on him and making fun of him. I know that he is a man that is "high up" in his class, but it seems as though no one in the story respects him. His servant back talks him and so do many of the people in his town. I don't know if this is the way to the book was written, but to me when I read the dialog for Mr. Goliadkin it seems as though he can't say what is on his mind. As if he was like beating around the bush, and wont just come out and say it. I find it very difficult to enjoy to enjoy this story when the main character take's one whole page trying to say something that could be said in just one paragraph. So as much as I dislike this story and the writing, I do feel sorry for Mr. Goliadkin because everyone in the book seems mean to him.
