A Hunger Artist Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

At the end, when he confesses that he fasted until death because he never found the right food, one may assumed he is referring to a spiritual food. Because, though he does not specify the food he is talking about, my point is substantiated by the analysis of all the factors I mentioned earlier. On these grounds, his complex nature gives rise to question the very foundation of the existence of the ordinary.

Equally, it seems that his quest for the spiritual food is not the solution to his problem of accepting living like everybody else. This is justified by the fact that as he is approaching to the perfection of his art, he is also approaching to his own death.
All this bears out my point, the state of human perfection is impossible. His life illustrates the imbalance between his inner self and the world around him. Neither the physical food nor the spiritual one alone is going to make us perfect.
