The Idiot
play
After spending several years in the hospital recovering from an illness, Prince Myshkin arrives in Saint Petersburg. The Russian capital breaths greed, murder, nihilism, passion, vanity, and love. With his childlike naivety, Prince Myshkin quickly becomes a means to achieve someone else’s plans. Who is Prince Myshkin after all? A virtuous man who has to suffer for his kindness, like a Jesus? Or is he just an idiot whose innocence causes more damage than good?
