The novel sheds light on the struggle between good and evil in the human soul through the character of the innocent and pure Prince Myshkin.
The Idiot is considered one of Dostoevsky’s greatest novels, which gained wide fame and continued popularity, such that its editions are repeated in all languages of the world. This novel delves into the human soul and its internal conflict, where we see the intensification of feelings and desires. Dostoevsky chose its characters from models that are a mass of tendencies and suffering. Prince Myshkin suffers from a type of epilepsy, and at the same time is characterized by a kind heart and a willingness to sacrifice and show tolerance with satisfaction, so he was given the nickname “the Idiot”. The novel begins by presenting a picture of the prince’s life, which is a picture of Russian society, before he goes to visit his relative in Petersburg and gets to know her daughters and lives a whirlpool of emotions that affect his life, in this novel, as in most of his novels. Dostoevsky pours something of himself, his thoughts and his life, which is reflected in the characters of the novel, especially the character of the prince who lives the conflict between his love for “Aglaya”, who is his true love even though she always mocks him but loves him, and his love for “Anastasia” who is desired by everyone, whom he loves with a spirit of sympathy even though he describes her as sick and ill.
