3. Analysis
Prince Myshkin analyses his feelings for the spoilt but captivating Nastasya - and the more timid Aglaya. Stars Paul Rhys.
In one of his most famous and personal novels, Dostoyevsky portrays the vivid inner life of Prince Myshkin, who has returned from years abroad spent trying to treat his epilepsy. It takes courage for him to reintroduce himself into Russian society.
While recovering from an epileptic fit, the Prince analyses his feelings for the two very different women he has met - the spoilt but captivating Nastasya Filipovna, who is fatally attracted to the evil Rogozhin, and the more timid Aglaya, who is secretly in love with him.
She and the Prince meet but the outcome is not what she had hoped for...
