Synopsis

"The Bullied and the Insulted" is the masterpiece of the great Russian writer Dostoevsky. The novel was written in 1861. The whole book consists of four parts and an ending. The story takes place in Petersburg in the late 1950s, during the period of the collapse of serfdom. The main content of the novel is the conflict between the adventurer and liar Valkovsky and the people he insults and harms. The novel unfolds the two main lines of the story with a desolate and tragic tone, one is the tragic fate of Nellie'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 Nellie's mother, defrauded Nellie's grandfather of all the family property, and finally caused all three generations of Nellie'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.

Reader comments

This book made me feel deeply, especially the character Nellie. Her experience was so heartbreaking. Dostoyevsky portrayed her so delicately that I felt like I could feel her pain. I like this book. It makes me see the dark side of society and makes me cherish my current life more.

Regarding the Duke, at first he believed the rumors that Natasha's father was guilty of misconduct and filed a lawsuit here. In fact, I think he may know that those are rumors, but he did not choose to find out the truth or confirm the authenticity of those rumors. He immediately determined that Natasha's father was the kind of person the rumors said he was, and did something detrimental to him. He may have thought he could get something from Natasha's father through rumors, money or humiliation to Natasha's family. He seems to take pleasure in humiliating others. Just like in the fourth movie, Natasha became ill after Alyosha left, and when Vanya went to see the doctor, the Duke ran over and said a lot of high-sounding words. He said that he was very noble. Yes, he understood Natasha very well and felt pity for Natasha. The emotion of pity is filled with a sense of superiority and unequal status.

It's a real masterpiece, but the title is so true that I can't seem to stand the tragedy.
