Miserable and humiliated is a gateway to reading Dostoevsky, and its entrance is to talk about the suppressed, humble character. Through it, all the darknesses of the human soul appear, which may be repressed in normal circumstances, to the extent that the reader might consider all the protagonists of the book as mad and ill.
A brief about the novel "Miserable and Humiliated":
Once again, Dostoevsky enters a world full of all kinds of feelings, where we find extreme cases of love, compassion, pity, noble stances, and unlimited readiness to sacrifice. We also find evil, injustice, hatred, cruelty, arrogance, and pride that lead to foolish behaviors.
In this novel, Dostoevsky presents his view of the confusion and contradictions in passionate love, even humiliation. How, when love becomes extreme, the weak party pays a high price.
This is the case of Natasha, who gave her heart and her family's honor, sacrificing everything without hesitation. She was forced to bear the consequences of this love, face the evil represented by her beloved prince and her beloved Alyosha, and overlook her childish lover’s weakness and his submission to his whims, even accepting his love for another woman.
In addition to the wonderful models of the novel’s characters and its strange worlds, what makes the reader yearn for the novel and follow it passionately is the story of Nelly, the daughter of oppression and suffering, who turned into a beggar in her childhood so as not to violate her mother’s dying wish that she not go to the rich to preserve her dignity.
George Haldas says about the novel: "It is a good entry into Dostoevsky’s labyrinth, of which the novel 'Miserable and Humiliated' forms the first stage."
Quotes from Dostoevsky’s "Miserable and Humiliated":
Ksenia, was all this a dream, wasn’t it?
What was a dream?
And I read in her eyes: "We could have been happy together forever."
Love yourself, O human, that is the only rule I acknowledge.
Poverty is not a sin, but the sin is to be rich in it and insult others.
