Nietzsche’s most contemptible man, the last man before the strike of a Lightning bolt, lives only for comfort. Convenience.
Babette teaches walking, sitting, and eating to old people. Jack teaches about Hitler—expounds on Hitler’s mother, the momentum of the crowds and torches. Murray (Jack’s scholar friend who was inspired by Jack) does the same with Elvis.
Everything is superficial. The proper way to fill a spoon. Hitler and Elvis were momma’s boys, so they became enamored with the crowd. Elvis self-destructed but fullfilled his contract. Hitler did the same.
