Walter Mitty's character develops from being a passive and meek person in his real life to someone who starts to show more confidence. His daydreams initially are just an escape, but as the story progresses, they start to influence his real - life actions.

It's not a straightforward yes or no. You have to consider things like the presence of old, creepy buildings, a sense of foreboding, and complex, brooding characters. Based on those, you can decide if it fits the gothic novel mold.

Well, 'Monkey Man' by Walter Dean Myers is not based on real events. It's a piece of fiction that explores various themes and ideas through made-up characters and situations.

Walter Mitty develops in an interesting way. Initially, he is shown as a man who is constantly overshadowed by his wife and the mundanity of his daily life. His daydreams are his way of breaking free. In these daydreams, he becomes a more assertive and capable person. For example, in one daydream he is a heroic pilot. However, in real life, his development is stunted by his environment. He doesn't really change much in the real world but his daydreams show his potential for growth.

The man might never listen to a story because he prefers other forms of entertainment, or he could have a hearing problem that affects his ability to engage with stories.

At the beginning, Mitty is presented as a meek and mild - mannered man who is constantly in his own little world of daydreams. As the story progresses, we see that his daydreams become more and more elaborate as a way to cope with the mundanity of his real life.
