I can't help but think that Svidrigailov's "wickedness" is somehow mitigated by his respect for the idea of love. For this reason, he is certainly one of the most haunting characters in the book.
Great analysis. I was floored when svyid shot himself. But it does seem like he did have a guilty conscience in the end and that he had stripped away so much of life's morals that it had become an iredemptive joke to him
I think the child in his dream smiling at him is the core piece to understanding his character
Excellent! Keep these videos coming.
