Zeno of Citium
The Overcoat is in the style of a stoic philosopher.
Stoics believed that destructive emotions were the result of errors in judgement.
Akaky Akakievich was perfectly happy with his life, until he began buying into what others said about him and his cloak and developed an obsession with obtaining this new overcoat, which ultimately lead to his demise.
