Being There This paper discusses the way television is used in the novel "Being There" by Jerzy Kosinski, noting how Chance, the main character, watches television and sees the world only in that way because he is retarded, while the non-retarded powerbrokers in Washington D.C. see Chance as some sort of wise man who could be a candidate because he has no past to harm him and because image is everything to them.
