The Fool-Volume 2

The most important literary legacy left by 19th century Russian literature is Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The author, who subverts the boundaries between reality and fiction in his works, argues that narrative forms that some describe as fantastic express reality for him. His novels, which are thought to bear the first traces of existentialism, contain tension, murder, fear, and in his own words, "horror".

The protagonist, Prince Mishkin, is a mature human type who has achieved complete moral and spiritual balance. It is the symbol of the author's reaction to the problems and values of the period in which he lived. Prince Myshkin, who is always doomed to lose in the face of evil, despite all his good intentions and naivety; While Dostoevki's most unforgettable heroine is struggling between the passionate love he feels for Nastasya Filippovna and the fatal love he feels for Aglaya Yepanchin, when Nastasya Filippovna falls victim to murder, he remains a fool forever because he cannot understand the evil of those who want power.

"Despite the extraordinary richness of the human comedy, Dostoevsky's characters are always collected and ranked on the same level, the level of humility and pride... His female heroes are even more determined than the men; they are always motivated by pride..."
