The correct answer is "A person’s inner self often struggles to overcome external definitions of self-imposed by the outside world". The novel "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace, has multiple major plots but they are all connected by a film called "Infinite Jest". All the plots could be summarized in people struggling to fit in the world, particularly outsiders such as radicals, drug abusers, students trying to be in an elite academy and a youngest son in a problematic family.
