       This essay on a famous man, whose name is not revealed until almost the end of the piece, is a study of monstrous conceit. Filled with biographical details that keep the reader guessing to the last moment, the essay concludes with a challenging view on the nature of genius: If a genius was so prolific, “is it any wonder that he had no time to be a man?”

The text can be divided into three parts:

Part I    (Paragraphs 1 － 9): This part describes a man who seems to have rolled all kinds of demerits into one, a real monster.

Part II   (Paragraph 10): This part serves as a transitional paragraph, which clarifies who this monster really is, i.e. a famous musician by the name of Richard Wagner.

Part III   (Paragraphs 11 － 13): The last part justifies all the peculiar behavior of Richard Wagner.
