TST :: Chapter VII :: Zarathustras doubt

Time passes and the market place that was illuminated by such a spectacle as man aspiring to some greatness is cast in gloom. This mirrors Z's own mood at his failure to convince others to also aspire to greatness. Z identifies that he has succeeded only in convincing a deadman. Z notes that human life is without meaning and as such even the most foolish act can have far reaching consequences.

Z outlines his own aspirations of greatness to teach man the superman which will illuminate the darkness of mans existence. Z notes this goal is yet to be achieved and his perception is something between an animal and one that has fallen on the path to the superman. Z then speaks to the dead and states his intention to bury this failure at becoming with his own hands.
