Can you imagine, you walk over a bridge in the night and suddenly a person appears that looks just like you. The other day, this person works with you, steals the fame for the efforts you made and makes you look like an unreliable liar. This is the sight of the main character in "The Double", the clever councillor Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin. Though the text itself forces you to think further. People might not be how they appear to Golyadkin, events might not have happened that way. That makes his story not a bit less important, it's a deep psychogram of a sick person. . I see a man that wants to break free, save his beloved from forced marriage and be healed from his groggy psyche, but actually everything falls into the crater, comparable to "The Idiot". People turn their back towards him. Instead of himself, his double gets what Golyadkin desires, he is like the personification of his wishes. That makes the doppelganger the enemy. In all the helplessness and impenetrability, this nerve-racking bureaucracy I saw many hints to the later arising works of Franz Kafka, it made me proud that the literary scientists see the same! . After all I read a brilliant journey between reality and hallucination, a psychological masterpiece, worthy of my other favorite writer! . #dostoyevsky #fyodordostoyevsky #thedouble #федормихайлович #федормихайловичдостоевский #достоевский #двойник #литература #санктпетербург #букстаграм #книги #literature #bookstagram #doppelganger #guyswhoread #gayswhoread #instagood #photooftheday #visualsoflife #dostojewskij #dostojewski #derdoppelgänger #leseempfehlung https://www.instagram.com/p/CRPNIszrNel/?utm_medium=tumblr
