Russian novelist Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky is at the pinnacle of Russian literature. No 19th-century writer had greater psychological insight or philosophical depth. No one speaks more immediately and passionately about the mood and tone of the present century. This essay will discuss how Dostoevsky's intent to portray a "truly beautiful soul" is manifested in the novel The Idiot and will touch on Dostoevsky's success or failure in achieving his intent. Dostoevsky confesses in his letter to Maikov dated 12 January 1868 that his 'desperate situation' forced him to resort to the fascinating and tempting, but nevertheless difficult and premature, idea of ​​portraying 'an absolutely beautiful individual'. Accordingly, in the first part of the novel, which he began writing on December 18 and presented in its complete form on January 11 in the January issue of the "Russian Messenger", the "beautiful individual", Prince Myshkin, was immersed prematurely and 'extraordinarily weak' he believed that "beauty will save the world"1 and hoped to create a figure that could lead many to experience the same inner peace and beauty that this character achieved through grace. Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel The Idiot portrays a morally blameless man ., Prince Myshkin, whose innocent and simple nature and epileptic seizures make him mistaken for an idiot. He is an ineffective man because of his positive goodness. His Christian qualities, far from influencing those around him, prove completely incongruous in a sinful world. Nastasya Filippovna, who has been treated cruelly by a former lover, is attracted to both Myshkin and the evil Rogozhin, and is unable to commit to either. W...... middle of the sheet ...... between beauty and society indicates the novel as a unity containing beauty, as an ideal, in itself.
