Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Description

Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky

The main character in the book (the Underground Man) is a thoroughly unlikeable one right from the start. He is a liar, a hypocrite and an outright scoundrel. His expectations of others are very demanding and often very strange, while his expectations of himself are deluded less than stringent. He is vain and rude, sometimes just for the sake of being rude, and he involves himself in long-term mental battles of paralysis by analysis, something I understand more than I’d like to from personal experience. He is also quite taken with his own perceived intelligence.

The first part of the book is the Underground Man’s manifesto of sorts. He rambles quite a bit, lying to himself and to his audience (which he doesn’t really expect to have). As I stated before, he seems almost paralyzed by his over-analysis of the events of his life as well as the world around him.

The second part of the book is laid out in more of a narrative format. He tells a few stories about how he interacted with co-workers, former classmates, and even a prostitute that me met along the way. By his own account of things, he treated every one of them terribly and any rational person would also think he humiliated himself in the process.
