Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

Nastasia Philipovna's dream

I like it when Dosto wrote about Nastasia's imagination of a good honest man just like Myshkin, someone believes in her innocence and loves her, but she has given up hope of happiness and decided to leave him when she told him about her imagination.

Myshkin, after Nastasya Filippovna convinces herself yet again that she doesn’t deserve him:

nastasya filippovna woman of all time. she’s insane. she’s a hussy. she’s doomed by the narrative. she’s a serial runaway bride. she’s cruel. she just wants to be loved. she would go to siberia to make sure her abuser receives justice. she can’t forgive the man she loves for loving her. she set 100,000 rubles on fire. she wrote another woman love letters. she compared herself to the pope. she’s the most beautiful woman in russia and everyone is terrified of her. she is the answer to the question “what if helen of troy was batshit insane and wanted to make men suffer?”.

Rereading Dostoevsky is always a safe bet because, yeah, the heavy soul-shattering themes will always be strikingly prevalent, only now it's ten times funnier
