Why does with every Dostoevsky protagonist it feels like im reading about myself? Was he that much of a Chud to know how we feel?

>>25288953If Myshkin feels like he's literally you, there is something deeply wrong with you.Especially because the book is intensely different from Dostoyevsky's other work, deliberately so. Crime and Punishment is 500 pages of a guy thinking about something only to conclude you can't reason your way out of guilt.The Idiot, on the other hand, is a book all about appearances, describing the characters from the outside frequently, only telling you their mental states through their own statements. At no point of the book does the narration tell you what Myshkin actually thinks - because he doesn't. That's the point. He's a cute little puppy, but true good can't exist without a measure of reason.

>>25289007If you read Notes from a Dead House, he talks about how beloved the one jew in his prison was. Also funny because immediately upon entering, he started usuring.
>>25289172Then you're missing out on a lot, unity of form and content is one of his biggest strengths. Oftentimes he is obtuse on purpose just to communicate the sense of getting bogged down in a situation. People read him because of how he writes, how he communicates his messages, and slightly less so because of what the messages actually are.
>>25288953This is the worst Dosto book. Most of it is filler that goes nowhere, it is a book about simping, the lesson is surprisingly anti-christian compared to other works, the characters can't stop ranting. I detest it.
>>25289207>the lesson is surprisingly anti-christian compared to other worksNot really. We live in a fallen world. If you try to live exactly like Christ you will be shunned (possibly executed) and go insane. Thats why redemption is only possible through him and him alone.
>>25289186kek if true
>>25288953>>25288998Dostoevsky is the best at writing "literally me" protagonists
>>25288953That’s part of the thing of like the modern modernity and um like the modernity of the novel or something like that and the like the making of the modern novel
dosto tries to portray motivations realistically instead of having caricatures so he's timeless
