Abstract

Throughout the story King Friday shows that he has trouble with being able to focus and exercise self-control. Instead of paying attention to the problem presented by Handyman Negri, he indulges in his desire to play music and in so doing distracts Negri from his own work. Instead of solving the copier problem, he simply throws the extra copies in the trash, thereby contributing to the problem. Instead of focusing on the mounting garbage problem, he orders nose muffs—a temporary, uncomfortable solution that further distracts people from their work. And then when his subjects arrive at a process for gathering new ideas to deal with the problem, King Friday again fails to focus, choosing to practice his bass violin.
