bigoted whims of mankind and fate, cultivates his burgeoning rancor for Westernization through his idiosyncratic depiction of the imprisonment of the individual by none other than himself.

His novel “Notes from the Underground” portrays an amoral and self-conflicting character who indeed lives in everyone at some point of their lives.
