In the novel The Pigman by Paul Zindel, he deals with the importance of enjoying one's life despite difficult circumstances. Mr. Zindel proves his point by introducing Mr. Pignati or the Pigman, Lorraine's Mom, and John's Father. Each character has their own individual obstacles that prevent them from being happy. Mr. Pignati or the Pigman, in a confusing way, does and does not enjoy living life. In the beginning of the book, the Pigman is in denial that his wife is dead because he loved her so much and she meant so much to him. Infact, he claimed she went to California to visit his sister, because he could not accept the fact that she had died. It was almost like he closed the door to the universe and had no purpose to live. Without his wife Mr. Pignati was amazingly lonely until he began going to the zoo everyday to see Bobo the baboon.

First, Lorraine's mother is unhappy with her life because her ex-husband was unfaithful to her and they separated fifteen years ago. Pigman began spending a lot of time with John and Lorraine and he always looked forward to seeing them when they went to his h!ouse, which was almost everyday. "He's almost sixty years old, and I know he's not going to be around much longer. First of all, he believes the only thing in life worth doing is working hard, and therefore, he yells at his youngest son John for spending time with his friends and having leisure interests. Each one was a different size, a different color, or had a different look.
