He lived in a romance, both vulgar and sophisticated, it was the romance that was one of the systems he was subjected to, because for good or evil - and sooner or later - almost every resident of the Western world was subjected to romance expectations. He suspected that romance should be fond of social realism even if the aesthetic temperament of time rebelled against it.

The character's existence is deeply intertwined with the complexities of romance, which he experiences in both base and refined forms. This romance shapes his reality, reflecting the societal pressures and ideals that influence nearly everyone in the Western world. The struggle with these romantic expectations is a universal theme, affecting individuals in their personal and social lives.

Despite his inclination towards the ideals of romance, he believes there should be a stronger connection to social realism. He recognizes that while the cultural atmosphere may resist this notion, there is a need for an authentic representation of life that acknowledges the realities beneath romantic aspirations. This tension between romance and realism is central to his understanding of life and relationships.
