Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky
4.25

Fucking Christ, dude.

I know some people find the first 200 pages unnecessary, but I think they're important as a starting point to watch everything spiral from. I was giggling and hehe'ing away at the narrator consistently roasting this old man, having no idea what was in store later.

It's wild to me that the Tikhon chapter was censored out originally, as it entirely explains
Stravogin's character past just sort of being a selfish, apathetic womanizer. He is a horrific person albeit a person who can't take responsibility for anything until the very end.


Pyotr Stepanovich on the other hand is
such a sadistic, demonic little worm. Just wriggling his way into everyone's heads until the town collapses. The scene near the end where one of his conspirators asked if there were really more of them throughout Russia or if they were the only ones, and he reveals it's only them, that broke me.
