The novel "The Idiot" is one of the most expressive examples of Dostoyevsky's ability to look into the insides of the human soul. This "idiot" is a prince, from a well-known dynasty of princes in Russian history, but his personality and life path are not at all similar to those princes who command and obey. Rather, he is a kind, simple person whose affection can be elicited and influenced by simply showing tenderness or expressing need, sadness or sorrow... Therefore, he appears "idiot" in the eyes of society.
