Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky
3.0
Interesting protagonist of paradoxic nature ,feels like a big rant in two parts.
He questions himself and changes his thoughts over and over again.
The man from the underground shares his perspective of life which reminds me of Camus absurdism, just that within Camus Absurdism there would be a revolt against the absurd from which one would find freedom in living authentically despite the lack of inherent meaning .
The Underground Man, however, seems trapped in his negativity.
His rebellion is more self-destructive and lacks the positive assertion of freedom seen in Camus.
And focuses on the individual's struggle with the absurd while the Protagonist, on the other hand, also critiques societal pressures and the human desire for order and control.
