The Idiot  |
| Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881) |
Prince Myshkin is a simple and inherently good person but his naivety earns him the title of "idiot". Captivated by Nastasya, he ends up in a web of deceit, blackmail, betrayal and ultimately, murder. In this novel, Dostoyevsky wishes to portray a truly good person, one with beauty within his soul, untouched by the ways of the world. But can he remain untouched or does he ultimately find himself a victim of society? |
