so basically your saying his happier at the beginning that doesnt make since

Charlie is happier at the beginning of the story. Evidence to support claim is that in the book it said “I’m glad I’m going back to work because I miss my job and all my friends and all the fun we have there,” page 227. “there was 140 names, everyone connected with the factory, except Fanny Girden. Scanning the list quickly, I saw at once that hers was the only missing name. All the rest demanded that I be fired,” page 234. He was happy towards the beginning of the story because before the operation he was happy that he’s going back to work with his friends, but then after the operation he got fired from his job from being too smart.
