Truman proves to be a real man. If the studio had decided to give Truman an ultimatum at the age of enlightenment, and he chose to accept the life that was presented unto him, without letting the audience know that he was no longer a ‘real’ character, then the show might had been more exciting and even become a greater hit. One life cannot have the entire climax that all audiences enjoy. It is obvious that letting Truman roam free on the set, led to more expenses and more unwanted scenes. If I was one of the main characters I wouldn’t have a real life.
He doesn’t even feel like learning it. Barton as a character is an elitist snob and he only shares his views with artists on the stage.

It is through Willy’s hallucinations that the audience is exposed to the past and they also provide a window into his feelings of regret.
