Hva skjer

1. After his Wife leaves, the Square feels the visitor and accepts him as a perfectly circular figure.
2. The Stranger claims to see into closed rooms from a third dimension, but the Square rejects his household observations as insufficient proof.
3. Arguments about visibility and height fail because the Square cannot identify any direction beyond his plane.
4. The visitor identifies himself as a Sphere, then shrinks, disappears, and returns while the Square remains unconvinced.
5. The Sphere uses numerical patterns to explain a cube with eight corners and six faces.
6. Unable to imagine movement outside Flatland, the Square calls the visitor a monster and hurls himself at him.
