The character Joy-Hulga attempts throughout the story to become independent from traditional society. Her efforts include changing her given name "Joy" (an ironic choice as none of the women in the story Mrs. Freeman Mrs. Hopewell, or Joy ever experience "freedom", "hope", or "joy") and also taking out The Bible salesman. In the end, her prosthetic leg (the most important thing that made her different from mainstream) was snatched fom her. By taking away her leg, the salesman took away her non-conformity and crippled her once again. This is existential because no matter how hard Joy tried to be different and separate from society, her differences ended up making her dependent upon that which she was trying to break free.

A bad person - but that depends upon your motives and situation. Soldiers sometimes have to kill people in the service of their country, which does not necessarily make them bad people, but then again, sometimes it does, if they live in a bad country.

Existentialism emphasizes individual freedom and responsibility, encourages self-reflection and self-discovery, and emphasizes the importance of living authentically and creating meaning in a sometimes chaotic world.

Existentialism is a philosophical movement that focuses on individual existence, freedom, and choice, emphasizing the subjective experience and responsibility of individuals in creating meaning in their lives. Postmodernism, on the other hand, is a cultural and intellectual movement that emerged in the mid-20th century and questions the validity of universal truths, rejects grand narratives, and embraces diversity, ambiguity, and skepticism towards established beliefs and values. Existentialism is more concerned with individual authenticity and responsibility, while postmodernism challenges traditional authority and questions the nature of truth and reality.
Existentialism offered people the freedom to define their own meaning and purpose in life, to take responsibility for their choices, and to confront the realities of existence such as mortality and suffering. It emphasized individual agency and authenticity in the face of uncertainty and absurdity.
Both realism and existentialism focus on the individual's experience of the world. Realism emphasizes portraying reality as it is, often focusing on the mundane and ordinary aspects of life.
