Prince Myshkin is the protagonist of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, The Idiot. He is a young man with a kind and compassionate nature, often seen as a Christ-like figure. Myshkin suffers from epilepsy, which adds to his vulnerability and complexity as a character. Throughout the story, Myshkin navigates the complexities of Russian society in the 19th century. His innocence and honesty contrast sharply with the moral corruption around him, leading to both admiration and disdain from other characters. His journey explores themes of love, morality, and the struggle between good and evil.
