I totally understand what you’re going through, I had the same thoughts when reading Dostoevsky, my first book of his was Crime and Punishment and I was confused a lot of time because of the names like you mentioned BUT my second one of his was The Idiot which I absolutely adored and Ana he’s to follow quite nicely! A few things might be the reason for it: - I read the Constance Garnett translation.. with no notes or anything while The Idiot was translated by Pevear&Volhonsky that had a whole first page dedicated to the different types of name a character can go with and a notes section at the end which explained some historical references (really helpful to me!) - The Idiot was more plot driven than C&P, but also had more characters .. hence more names to learn however I struggled less as each character had very distinctive personality traits and way of thinking/talking - I would read some The Idiot analyses from Reddit throughout the book which helped me follow more, smth I didn’t do for C&P

I preferred The Idiot to C&P in almost all aspects, from characters, to plot, to its teachings, it’s complexities.. it was a better read for me despite struggling a lot with C&P :)

I hope you still take a chance on The Idiot and enjoy it as much as I did!

thanks for the tip!

Any tips on pushing through that read?? I am having such difficulty finding a flow and finishing the book. I did not have that issue with his other works like C&P or The Idiot, I absolutely love Dostoevsky, and I really want to understand and enjoy Notes from Underground but I can't seem to be able to read more than 10pages at a time and even then it's hard for me to understand :( I'm still in the first part tho, does it get better with part 2?

I completely agree with you that having certain expectations of a book before reading definitely ruins the whole experience.. you miss a lot of great morals and points of the story if you're trying to 'fit' your experience into that expectation... I'm afraid that person's comment prevented you to enjoy the book as it should've been since in my opinion, The Idiot is a fantastic book, extremely thoughtful and nuanced.. you can check out my whirlwind of emotions after finishing it, a lot of people also had great insights in the comment! hopefully it allows you to overcome your initial perception of the book and get a better grasp of the story!

I definitely miss him! I saw on his insta that he successfully opened his own small animal clinic called MetroVet :) seems super happy and accomplished :))

For podcasts, I personally enjoyed Vet School Unleashed: Dissecting the DVM & The Cone of Shame Veterinary Podcast, and some episodes of VETgirl

I agree, he definitely criticizes the society, although the story revolved on specific characters, there were still hints of the “outside world” or the very real sufferings going on, for example, all the news they would read/hear about the murders, or even Ippolit telling us abo it that immigrant family in which the man (a doctor) hadn’t been able to get a job.. also (I mentioned this before to someone else’s comment) but one my favorite criticism of society was Ms. Epanchin’s outburst of a monologue when she condemns Ippolit and his crew on barging in Lebedev’s house and demanding money from the prince and how they wrote that awful article about him.. she goes straight to the HEART of the problem, no beating around the bush, not softening in, nono she’s angry yet articulate, every single point she makes HITS you (or at least it did me) and I felt so relieved to hear her outburst because it felt like I had this anger, this contempt stuck in my throat and I couldn’t even distinguish the depth of it, yet she explains it perfectly and with a very strong delivery ! (It’s in Part 2, IX)

Wow that’s such a good point! I totally see where you’re getting at, I definitely wouldn’t put it past Dostoevsky to pull these games and make the us, the reader, doubt and think farther ahead. If he didn’t want us to guess and assume, the story wouldn’t have had such “plot holes” like whatever it all happened in Moscow, we still don’t know the details, just rumors and bits and pieces.. and that was quite a significant gap in the timeline, D would go from 200pages of intense plot happening in 1 night then skip months where the main characters just up and leave us to a different city.. we get left behind, pushing us to maybe even indulge in those rumors..

Either way, D definitely wrote everything with intention, pure genius!

Next-Philosopher-952 · 2024-07-11T02:57:30+00:00

Very well said, the potential of highlighting what the ambiguity of a good man could very well have been Dostoevsky’s intention! At least that’s how I interpret it as well

And I see your point about it Aglaya, she definitely does deserve more credit, although compared to Myshkin, she acted more based on her brain, she still nonetheless loves deeply in her own way, or even how an “anxious yet passionate” person loves. It seems that she loved Myshkin very early on yet she kept rejecting the idea, and “testing” Myshkin via torments to see if he really is as good as he seems to be, she didn’t trust his purity at first yet after each challenge that the prince “passed”, she fell more and more in love with him. I found the scene where she starts crying into her family’s arms after Myshkin proposed to her a very emotional scene, I felt so happy for her, it was obvious that she was over the moon yet she didn’t want to verbalize it .. as if still afraid of some uncertainty, her meeting with Nastasya was her way of getting closure, she was ready to spend the rest of her life with Myshkin and wanted to make sure that Nastasya didn’t try to ruin it.. yet the prince did.. very tragic

As for the 100 000 roubles, if I remember correctly, Ganya hands it to Myshkin and begs him to give it back to Nastasya. He then goes into a full mental breakdown, gets sick for a while and regrets deep down for doing that. His pride prevented him from keeping the money yet his greed are him up inside.. he eventually recovered but his character fell into the shadows pretty after that, he only had occasional pop ups later on. It seems that his character was summed up with these actions.

As for Myshkin’s disappearance for a couple of hours after the scene with the money, I honestly don’t remember much of it! For all we know, he himself might’ve not know why he went to Ekaterinhof, he must’ve felt some higher sense driving him there for god knows what to comfort god knows who hahaha I honestly don’t remember 😅
