A review by sreymey
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky

4.0

It’s a complex story about the redemption of Prince Myshkin, a young man with intellectual and neurological disabilities, who returns to Russia after living for many years abroad. Through his naivety and innocence, Prince Myshkin attempts to bring kindness and compassion to those around him, but this unusual behavior is often misunderstood and exploited by the people he encounters, leading to both comedy and tragedy. Ultimately, The Idiot explores themes of redemption, compassion, and the human desire to be accepted and loved in a society that often rejects difference and individuality.
