In real life, Walter Mitty is an immature, dependent, neurotic, and weak-willed man. He defers to his wife in all things.

In his fantasy world, Mitty can be exactly what he wants to be...... he is a dreamer, and thus, he can be a hero. Walter's fantasy life is filled with daring deeds.... he is a fighter pilot, a doctor, a sharpshooter, and he even bravely dies at the hands of a firing squad.
