The Idiot follows Prince Lev Myshkin, a gentle and sincere man who returns to Russia after receiving treatment for epilepsy in Switzerland. His openness and compassion bring him into the complicated lives of wealthy and troubled people, including Nastasya Filippovna and Aglaya Yepanchina.
Myshkin’s goodness is repeatedly tested by jealousy, passion, manipulation, and social expectations. As relationships become increasingly complicated, the novel examines the conflict between innocence and a morally troubled society. Dostoevsky combines psychological depth, emotional drama, and philosophical questions to explore human nature and the meaning of true goodness.
