Volume Two of Two Prince Myshkin returns to Russia after years of treatment for epilepsy, stepping into a society driven by vanity, greed, and manipulation. His unguarded kindness and genuine innocence clash violently with the desires and ambitions of those around him. Drawn into a turbulent triangle involving the wounded and mesmerizing Nastasya Filippovna and the idealistic Aglaya Yepanchin, Myshkin becomes the center of a storm of jealousy, obsession, and moral decay. As the consequences of passion and pride escalate, his purity transforms into both solace and danger, raising the haunting question of whether true goodness can survive amid deceit and social cruelty. The Idiot stands as one of Fyodor Dostoevsky's most influential works, a profound psychological study that challenged 19th-century Russian views on morality, rationality, and the value of innocence. Its exploration of idealism versus reality helped shape modern existential literature and continues to inspire discussions on human nature, compassion, and the fragile boundaries of the soul.
