Narration To Books Notes from Underground & The Double

‘It is best to do nothing! The best thing is conscious inertia! So long live the underground!’Alienated from society and paralysed by a sense of his own insignificance, the anonymous narrator of Dostoyevsky’s groundbreaking Notes from Underground tells the story of his tortured life. With bitter sarcasm, he describes his refusal to become a worker in the ‘ant-hill’ of society and his gradual withdrawal to an existence ‘underground’. The seemingly ordinary world of St Petersburg takes on a nightmarish quality in The Double when a government clerk encounters a man who exactly resembles him – his double perhaps, or possibly the darker side of his own personality. Like Notes from Underground, this is a masterly study of human consciousness.Jessie Coulson’s introduction discusses the stories’ critical reception and the themes they share with Dostoyevksy’s great novels.

Criticism Based On Books Notes from Underground & The Double

If spite makes you unworthy of a single pound,Try to write about your life in the underground.If this makes life as cold as ice,To read Dostoevsky is my advice.Notes from underground.The above quasi-verse was written by me, not the author of the book; so dont be spiteful, gentlemen. Apropos of the spite, what can I say about Notes from underground? Its simply stunning. I would say that I cant understand why some people wouldnt like this book, but I do understand. Allow me to tell you my personal

Fyodor Dostoevsky is excellent at creating gloomy and unstable male narrators that make following the story feel like you are solving a puzzle. I enjoyed the book thoroughly and it is hard to say which one of the novels, Notes from Underground or The Double, I liked more. Both of the stories were very dark stories with unreliable narrators; you could see how both of the narrators were sliding into madness slowly through the story, and you couldn't never tell if the details in the story were just

This book was a journey through the darkest crevices of the human mind, truly ahead of its time and a predecessor of Freud. I read this book twelve years ago, so it was nice to reacquaint myself with Dostoevsky's dark humor now with more life experience. At first I thought the narrator is the classic portrait of an introvert because he loves being alone in his allegorical underground cave so much, but this guy goes beyond that in self hatred and misanthropy. Nevertheless, his level of self

I read this last year sometime in some electronic form or other. The slow deliberate exploration of character is amazing. Reminds me very much of the Kafka character in A Letter to My Father. Weak, aware of his own weakness, defiant of the culture that calls him weak, but still unable to rise above. Terrific character study.

Notes from Underground is April's read for the Existential Book Club, and is hailed by some as the first work of existential fiction. It's a piece I really enjoyed, and especially the wit from the narrator's voice which I think strengthened the work. The use of unreliability was done very cleverly, and the narrator constantly second-guessed himself providing a really intricate perspective I would love to pick apart further.The first half of the story consists of the narrator introducing his

Shocking !!! I rank it in Dostoevsky's top works along with Crime and Karamazov. It reminds more of the second, with a difference in volume, due to lack of plot. The Underground is probably one of the best ever written books of psychology.Why shocked me? Why I read thoughts I've lived as a teen when I could not explain it yet. Nietzsche is absolutely right when he says, "The only one who knew something about human psychology was Dostoevsky." The incredible monologues in the hero's mind ... are

I've only read Notes from Underground for class, so my review is restricted to that:I immediately enjoyed this book more than Crime and Punishment. Maybe I should go back and read that again sometime to see if the distance of years and not being forced to choke through it would help, but that's beside the point.Dostoyevsky really impressed me with this one. The character is so well fleshed out and he's such a cranky, arrogant jerk it's hard not to laugh as he spews all his opinions like a grump
