Much like Tom, the Man-Moth shuts himself out of the world and tries to survive the world through his own bubble and accomplish his dreams: “The Man-Moth always seats himself facing the wrong way. He cannot tell the rate at which he travels backward” (Line 29/32). By facing backward, the Man-Moth doesn’t know how fast he is going. This can relate to the Man-Moth dreams, and that even though he wants to achieve them, he feels pressured or overwhelmed by these goals, and instead doesn’t make any progress toward this goal.
