Dostojevski Fjodor Mihajlovič

Summary

Fyodor M. Dostoyevsky: The Double

The Double is the second novel by Fyodor M. Dostoyevsky. He deals with the inner, psychological struggle of the main character, who constantly encounters another man, physically identical to him, but self-confident, aggressive, extroverted, someone who has absolutely opposite qualities to those that characterize the protagonist of the story. This double begins to take control of his life, trying to destroy his reputation and position in public life in the Russian bureaucracy, but also within the social circle. Unable to escape the constant presence of his doppelganger, suddenly even the most mundane everyday events take on horrifying consequences and Golyatkin, the main character, will soon find himself on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Here, the tragedy of the main character is told in a partially comical way, narrated in detail, in a style that is intensely enriched with phonetic and rhythmic expressiveness.

This novel can simply be seen as a documentation of schizophrenia, breaks from reality, with a realistic description of the symptoms of mental degeneration. The whole story, which is intentionally vague and incomprehensible in some places, actually represents a psychological study on the topic of a split personality.
