Cleaning his room and going to the doctor.

Love. Read to the end. His inability to love is what causes his fallen state. The prostitutes earnest love is compared to his tyrannising domineering of himself and others at the climax.

So in the end love crushed him completely?
Landon Kelly
No, read the book.
Jeremiah Cooper
I remember reading it long time ago but he only got mad after she visited him.
Chase Brooks
Because he couldn't love like she could and could only "love" as a possession to tyrannise over, which is how he "loved" himself right into the underground.
Tyler Hughes
did narcissism cause his "self-love" into underground?
Thomas Roberts
No.
Daniel Hernandez
well that means i'll read analysis on the internet
Jaxson Sanchez
He was incapable of both love and self-love, which are really the same thing just orientated in different directions. Because he could not love he could not love himself.
Brody Young
But what's the solution to this?
Easton Powell
Either love or become an underground man.
Chase Powell
Start to percieve world aesthetically rather than ethically.
Chase Howard
Are we supposed to be disgusted with him the whole time? I thought the section where he stalks the officer just to bump him was cringe, and being rude to Liza was fucked up, but I thought the bar scenes were based. His old schoolmates seemed like pompous faggots.
Alexander Jones
is there a way to get the love?
Jordan Reyes
Nope, start digging.
Landon Perez
>Are we supposed to be disgusted with him the whole time?
Certainly not. Dosto shows that he has some good qualities in him - sense of justice, lack of conformity, wits. When he describes his school years we can easily empathize with him. His repulsive nature is the product of modern age.
Jose Campbell
for a faith?
Camden Nguyen
Suicide. Hes fucked up too much.

Justin Gray
His solution? There is none, it's a psychological exposition of the type of person living in St. Petersburg at the time Dosto wrote it.
The solution is not being a miserable self-loathing piece of garbage. He would probably say to go to the Orthodox Church or something

nice reddit spacing

No he has a yearning for love, pouring some semblance of himself onto the prostitute. Yet in the daytime, when she comes to him, for one reason or another he isn't able to make the leap of love. I am the same and it's a great source of anguish and shame
