The village of Stepanitchikovo and its inhabitants

In the novel "Village of Stepantchikovo and Its Inhabitants," we see Dostoevsky's return to Russian literary life after spending ten years in hard labor and exile. A brief about the book "Village of Stepantchikovo" In this novel, we see my favorite Dostoevsky models that appear in almost all his works: the gentle human and the fierce human. Although the novel takes a humorous turn, its characters are clearly divided into these two traits. Colonel Rostanov is lovable, tolerates even abuse, and willingly submits to his mother's will, even being willing to marry a wealthy girl he does not love. He accepts the humiliation and contempt he receives from his mother, who believes the lies of Foma Fomich, who controls her life and his, and behaves in a ridiculously mocking manner with everyone in the house, and even in the entire village. This hypocrite's soul is filled with hatred, envy, and a desire for domination and control, and he has become a tyrant who mocks and ridicules everyone around him. He preaches morality, talks about religion, and claims he will become a monk after finishing his "Great Literature Book." But all of this is nothing but lies and hypocrisy; he writes nothing, and all he wants is to keep control over his mother to ensure a comfortable shelter and a luxurious life in the village of Stepantchikovo and its inhabitants. They said about Dostoevsky that I am related to him by blood. Kafka He was able to write prose like no one else... calm, simple, organized places and events... and without violence. James Joyce
