| Book Review | Fyodor Dostoevsky's idea for "The Idiot" centers around the depiction of "a completely beautiful human being." Prince Myshkin is the central character who represents light and goodness, however, as he's thrown into a chaotic world, full of characters who act of self-interest, even the Prince's (also known as "the idiot's") well-intentioned actions, end up causing damage. Dostoevsky does (another) fantastic job at illustrating the interplay of light and darkness, optimism and fatalism in "The Idiot". |
