Prince Myshkin's defenseless beauty amid greed and destructive passions
"The Idiot" is a novel in which Dostoevsky for the first time with genuine passion, vividly and fully embodied the image of a positive hero as he imagined it. Prince Myshkin combined the features of the image of Christ and at the same time a child, peace bordering on carelessness, and the inability to pass by the misfortune of a neighbor. In a "normal" society of people obsessed with greed and destructive passions, Prince Myshkin is an idiot. In a world where beauty is clouded by impure thoughts of people, such a hero is helpless, although beautiful. But "beauty will save the world!", Dostoevsky asserts through the mouth of Prince Myshkin, and the world becomes brighter.
