Change of the Man

 In the story 'The Real Thing' the drastic change of narrator is shown by how he reacts to Monarches. When Monarches first visits narrator he gets really excited. He gets excited not only because he saw the real loyalties but also because he thought that they might be visiting him to ask for portrait. However this excitement changes to little bit of disappointment as narrator finds out that Monarches visited him to ask him for a job as models. But at this point he was still happy to work with 'real things' rather than imitations because the life of the narrator was more like imitation rather than being a real thing. So he had enormous dreams about real things and hope that someday he would also be a real thing. However as he works with Monarches he finds out that real things are not so beautiful as he thought. Finally at the last part of his story he totally changes himself realizing that staying what he is is better than trying to be real thing.
