Answer:

The correct answer is A. That he feels like a failure as a man.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way he talks to his mother by saying, "So you butchered up a dream of mine" demonstrates how Walter feels he has failed as a man.

Another characteristic that leads Walter to failure is that he is blinded by lack of wisdom and greed.

He is so obsessed with money and succeeding that all he achieves is failure.
