Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground and The Double delve into existential angst and the fracturing of identity. Critics praise the insightful exploration of human consciousness and the pioneering elements of psychological realism. However, some find the narratives dense and the protagonists difficult to empathize with, due to their complex, often negative traits.
Readers who enjoy existential and psychological exploration, akin to The Stranger by Albert Camus or The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, will appreciate Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground & The Double. These works attract those fascinated by the complexities of human consciousness and moral dilemmas.
