"Notes from the Underground" was a turning point in Dostoevsky's creation. He penetrated and sublimated from his early immersion in the human compassion and psychological care of small people, and became a philosophical thinker who foresees human tragedy. Through this novella, he "seems" to tell us the most lacking thing at the time but the most precious thing in the world - personal character, and raised a long list of questions surrounding this central theme. The novel talks about the "individual" versus the group, and the process from the group's blind obedience to the laws of nature to the rebirth of belief in the awakening of individual self-awareness. It is expressed through the literary image created by Dostoevsky, the "basement man," who symbolizes a man on the margins of civilization who has retreated to the corner of his heart. He "consciously" buried himself in the basement of his heart, and his relationship with the group was one of ideological dialectics and the other of social quarrels. The novel is divided into two contrasting parts. The author is proud to say that this is similar to musical variations, and the two complement each other. The author tries to put the entire era, especially the negative characteristics, into this character image, and compare and synthesize a unique character of the era. If we repeatedly chew on these lies that are sometimes funny and sometimes shocking, we may have a new understanding of the source of power that stirs up human souls and renovates social life. For example, the basement man's last question: Which one is better? Is it cheap happiness or noble pain?
