The Insulted and Harmed Person
by G
About This Novel
With a desolate and tragic tone, the novel unfolds the two main lines of the story, one is the tragic fate of Neli's family, and the other is the misfortune of Natasha's family. The culprit of the destruction of these two families is Duke Valkovsky. He abducted Neli's mother, defrauded Neli's grandfather of all the family property, and finally caused three generations of Neli's family to die out of hatred. He also falsely accused Natasha's father and bankrupted his family. Natasha was also deceived by the Duke's son. The writer angrily reveals the dark reality of society and expresses deep sympathy for the "insulted and damaged" people at the bottom of society. But the novel is full of dark, tragic, and groaning tones. While maintaining the style of his works in the 1840s, in this novel, he began to preach about docility, patience, forgiveness, and voluntary suffering that cannot cleanse the soul. Christian humanism, the dominant idea in Dostoevsky's creation, began to take shape.
