Boyko, M. E. Structural Analysis of Complex Personalities
of Literary Characters Based
on Fedor Dostoevsky’s Novel ‘Idiot’
Abstract:
Many collisions of Fedor Dostoevsky’s novel ‘Idiot’ (1868–1869) still remain a mystery despite
them being studied and interpreted quite widely. It was not by accident when V. Burenin said that Dostoevsky’s
‘Idiot’ touches the very ‘sphere of pathology’. Based on the analysis of Fedor Dostoesky’s ‘Idiot’, the author of the
article demonstrates heuristic potential of structural method for analyzing characters. The author of the article
also hypothetically reconstructs a mysterious ‘meeting of the two female antagonists’ (Nastasia Phillipovna
and Aglaya Epanchina). In that scene (Part IV, Chapter VIII) Nastasia Phillipovna wins morally all of the
sudden. Duke Myshkin who is in love with Aglaya plays a role of a moral ‘judge’ here. In order to understand
all these contradictions, it is necessary to describe typical patters and causes of opposition between the main
female characters as well as Nastasia Phillipovna’s ‘internal duality’ as M. Bakhtin called it.
Keywords:
