Nastasja Filipovna

NASTASJA FILIPOVNA Nina Plavanjac according to the novel THE IDIOT by F. M. Dostoyevsky 90’ Is the Christ-like Prince Myshkin truly the key to understanding Christianity as Dostoyevsky sees it possible in an impossible world? Is Nastasya Filippovna the Maria Magdalena whom only an idiot, like this prince who is the best of all people in the worst of all worlds, can understand and accept? For the ancient Greeks, an idiot is a man who does not care about public affairs. Can one be similar to Christ only when fully immersed in personal suffering, happiness, love, and the misfortune of other people according to Dostoyevsky? Are the prostitute Sonya Marmeladova and the kept woman Nastasya Filippovna the only saints worthy of love in the Pantheon of Fyodor Mikhailovich? Raskolnikov will kill the old woman as an irrational act of André Gide or as an act of freedom of Charles Manson. Will Rogozhin kill Nastasya Filippovna - instead of killing Prince Myshkin who would have anyway risen like every Christ or Lazarus whom the Son of God shall call from the underworld where sinners burn eternally in fire? It seems that questions, as always, are more important than answers, and the world inevitably ends in madness and holy insanity like all the characters in the songs and thoughts of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky.
