Objectiveness: In the beginning, Arthur Fleck just wanted to be accepted in the local society about his mental illness he has suffered since he was a child. He did not find this and tried to change his objective to recognition as a comedian, but this ended worse when Murray Franklin, a famous talk show host, made fun of his horrible debut stand-up. In the end, the objective evolved to the acceptance of justice in Gotham city where high-class people and authorities ignore about the medical and social problems of the lower class.
Success or Failure: It was a success because Arthur Fleck discovered that being the criminal "Joker" is what he needed to be to succeed in life in relation to his goals of recognition, acceptance, and justice.
