 Martin Eden by Jack London. Search, Read, Study, Discuss.
Eden has to die because he is not a socialist at heart, like London himself (who built a sprawling ranch with the profits from books which included Marxist tracts and novels, and came under heavy fire from the American socialist contingent for doing so).
Eden is not weak-minded either; but London couldn't appease his readership by making a happy outsider of him in the end, so he killed him off.
The relish London takes in the suicide of Eden is in fact an expression of his longing for escape from the pains of his wasted body.

 Jack London's Martin Eden: The Annotated Edition by Dr. Dennis Hensley
Martin has had his share of adventures in life, as a sailor, cowboy, smuggler, and gang leader, by the time the story begins; some of these he recollects during the novel, but the conflict driving the novel is chiefly internal — the true life-or-death battle takes place inside the mind of Martin Eden.
Ruth waffles between recognizing her own feelings of love for Martin and succumbing to her parents' manipulative whims; the effect on Martin is similar to when a child repeatedly calls a friendly dog chained to its doghouse.
The novel's annotations are written by Dr. Dennis E. Hensley, who has written numerous articles on the life and works of Jack London and has taught this particular novel many times to college students, including at Oxford University.
