The book its self is magical it makes you rethink the idea of love and redemption that pure love some time hurt people than heal them its have its own twisted reality were the characters search for redemption but their pride, self worth, jealousy and ideals wouldn’t let them.We see mishkin an idiot who we see in the book as christ like in the context of russian orthodox were he have this idea that true love is a love that we give without a reason and we see as the story go that he was not welcome in the cruel world that hated beauty or changed the idea of it and we see nastashia that believes love is the only way to redemption but she believes she is not worth this love and tries to find redemption in degrading her self alls this book have good character build, deep philosophical theme that cant be expressed smartly and mind bending plot. And i can say its one of my fav book in spite of the long yapping
