people often talk about how dostoevsky’s characters are constantly sabotaging themselves, seeking suffering But Also pleasure and how paranoiac they are and that all of this might be rooted in their need to feel they have control because of all the trauma they have endured, which i agree, but have you also considered that most of these characters are in their 20s ?

#somebody tell me it gets better #reading dostoevsky is maybe the sanest thing i’ve done as a 22yo because yeah i also consider suicide at least once a day #people often talk about how authors either write about teens or old people and dosto is here always working with people in their 20s #hes the realest #also making a character think so highly about itself just to have it KNOW they’re pathetic by the end is so perfect like yeah it happens man #fyodor dostoevsky #crime and punishment #raskolnikov #the brothers karamazov #rodya raskolnikov #alyosha karamazov #russian literature #dmitri karamazov #ivan karamazov
