"Double Personality" is one of Dostoevsky's important works. It caused a huge response when it was published. It clearly reflects Dostoevsky's creative characteristics. The exploration of the human heart was advanced at the time and is still of practical significance today.
Reader comments
The first personality, the protagonist, is a good person, a very traditional person, with strong self-esteem, who pays attention to honor and rules, and believes that working in a disciplined manner is inevitable, but he is often not recognized and ridiculed by his colleagues.
The second personality is completely opposite to the protagonist. In the eyes of the protagonist, he is a bad person, but in the eyes of colleagues or people in the upper class, he is a good person. He can play both sides, flatters and is shy, and is very popular with people and recognized by his superiors.
In the last scene, people gathered the two of them together and made them face to face to look like they were reconciled. In fact, they wanted to merge together and the second personality completely replaced the first personality.
Only the second personality is really in line with their values, while the first personality is not suitable for their circle.
This is my personal interpretation, and another interpretation is:
After the protagonist's first personality experienced social death, the original abnormal mental problems became more serious, and hallucinations began to appear. The second personality was actually another real person, but the protagonist projected the type of person he wanted to be onto that person, and felt that the behavior of that person was the behavior of the second personality.
Real and fake, like real and fake, confusing.
But it's very thoughtful to confirm.
Reading this book always reminds me of the movie "Hello! Mr. Tree". Golyadkin was always undecided and wavered in his heart, just like Mr. Tree, who always had the wrong hands. In reality, the irresistible sense of inferiority, the sense of shame that has nowhere to be released, and the sense of despair that cannot be resolved repeatedly torture the protagonist... When the self-esteem and vanity are broken, another self is finally forced out, the self that escapes reality, the self in imagination. Enter the psychological world of dual personality and understand that behind the seemingly funny behavior of ordinary people, it is actually their response to another world. The sad Big Golyadkin who could never catch Little Golyadkin.
I like the protagonist in the book. His dual personality made me see the complexity of human nature. Moreover, Zang Zhonglun's translation is also very good, and his writing style is smooth, making it very enjoyable for me to read. This book is like a mysterious treasure to me. The more I read, the more interesting it becomes!
I like it. It turns out that there is a dual personality in the novel so early.
