Question

Consider the title of the story. What is Walter Mitty’s “secret” life? Who is it a secret from?

Answer 1

In the Story, Walter Mitty's secret life would be his daydreams and his imagination, and he hides it from everyone around him. By his daydreams it looks like Walter Mitty wants to be a hero but he doesn't do things about it (this is what his daydreams are about). In the daydreams we can tell he wants to be a hero whether it be a war hero or hurricane fighter.

Answer 2

I just watched this movie so I can help. His secret life is his constant state of daydreams. All the time he viewed himself as a hero but never did anything about it. Then when the guy in the mountains I forgot his name lol lost picture 25 and Walter had to get it, he saw it as his time to do something about it. His life is secret from the rest of the world. He’s always being awkwardly snapped out of daydreams by his crush or the mean boss (Adam Scott, don’t know the characters name).
