You have missed the point. The story is told wholly from the point of view of a chimpanzee who is captured and caged under cruel conditions in which he can hardly move. The chimp is obsessed with finding an escape, even imagining totally impossible escape scenarios. He gradually starts to observe and imitate human behavior in various ways, while scientists and others come to observe him. The chimp becomes so proficient at imitating human behavior that he becomes an international celebrity and travels and performs extensively, to the amazement of everyone, and eventually forgets what it is to be an ape. The reader realizes by the end of the incredible story that the ape has gone insane from his cruel and interminable imprisonment, and that his story is in fact an escapist fantasy world invented as a coping mechanism for his predicament.
