Abstract

fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, notes from underground, centers on an anonymous narrator who shows signs of an inferiority complex and as a result becomes preoccupied with his own purpose and self worth. He becomes so obsessed with adding meaning to his life that fantasies often take over in order to add drama to situations. Evidence of this is found in his fantasized interaction with a certain officer, in his hysterical and overly dramatic clash with a friend, and in his idealized relationship with a prostitute, Liza. These interactions are critical to understanding what drove this man to isolation. Due to being afflicted with an inferiority complex, these incidents build up until this final interaction with Liza stresses the underground man to the limit and forces him to retreat underground.
