i think its interesting that you think that the underground man as selfish. i agree with you, but in a way, i think its more than him being selfish. i think that while he claims to "enjoy" or benefit from living without human companionship, all of his meditations and rants and ideas stem from and are concerned with his desperate need for and desire of that human companionship. he is egotistical, yes, but i would argue that those feelings stem from his need to be accepted, and perhaps that is his way of covering it up, so to speak.

i sound like a psychologist...
