The Insulted and Humiliated

Posted on 10 May 2018 by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The Insulted Injured, published soon after Dostoevsky s political imprisonment, clearly foreshadows his later preoccupation with unconscious psychological drives their external effects on the lives of his characters Where his later works carry these drives to inevitably dramatic conclusions, The Insulted Injured confines them within the smaller boundaries of everyday event In this story the impulse toward self abnegation in love, which appears so markedly in both Vanya Natasha, isn t itself enough to direct their lives instead, it combines with their social world the mundane ambitions of Prince Valkovsky to defeat their hope of happiness Of all the characters in the novel, only Natasha s lover, the Prince s son Alyosha the person least driven to mold life to his own terms emerges untouched Here are, to a greater extent than in Dostoevsky s familiar works, flesh blood people as we see them around every day They are made up of both good evil, of will acceptance Unfailingly they command interest illuminate understanding.
