Description
Prince Myshkin, the main character of F. M. Dostoevsky’s famous novel “The Idiot,” preaches compassion, forgiveness, mercy, and brotherhood. But his hopes collapse: Rogozhin’s “blood brother” turns out to be the murderer, and “beauty” Nastasya Filippovna dies… And yet, without people like the prince, the world does not exist. “He only touched their lives,” Dostoevsky writes. “But where he touched them—everywhere he left an untraceable mark.”
Such densely packed plots are always “doomed” to produce in the reader an automatic effect of presence. The secret lies not only—and not so much—in the twists of the events, but in the brilliantly drawn characters and the electric charges between them.
In the sum of all elements, the effect of presence turns into the “effect of participation”: immersing yourself in the novel, you first become an invisible witness of the events, and then you grow so close to the main character that you start looking through his eyes and measuring his world by the beating of your own heart. And then the main question arises: how to survive in a world that seemed imaginary and suddenly became so real—and how not to go mad here.
In the end, can society really define the degree of someone’s “normality”? So who among us is Prince Myshkin?
