In chapter 23, Jurgis returns to Chicago after living his life as a tramp out in the country. However, when he returns he does find a job where he digs holes for telephone poles, but this causes him to go back to feeling miserable.
One night, when Jurgis was at a saloon, he came out and was hit by a car that was going to fast around a corner, causing to get badly injured. Like the last time he was injured, he was taken out of his job and remained feeling miserable. Now he is looking for another job, but this time he feels like "a wounded animal in the forest."
