Yakov Petrovich Goliadkin
It is a person who suffers, suffers a lot in any situation. You do nothing but doubt, even your own shadow; can spend hours trying to make a decision, arriving even on the verge of tears. But right away, the decision, already is is repenting of having done so. You feel pity for this character. Sit only, is passed the entire work dialoguing with himself, you have no one on their side. At the end the madness invades completely his mind: schizophrenia comes when appears twice, another Yakov Petrovich Goliadkin. Perhaps solitude and that degree of insanity do appear in the mind of the poor official at his other self. Goliadkin, in principle, is shown enthusiastically before the appearance of his double.
Yeah, Yakov Petrovich, you and I will be friends said our hero to his visitor. You and I, Yakov Petrovich, will be like a finger. As twins. You’ll see how will gain it by hand. Converses with him, even gets drunk when he spends the first night under its roof. Goliadkin invents a friend who avoids solitude and tends the hand promising friendship deep. But the mind of our protagonist does not accept anything good and that friend is transformed into the opposite: your worst nightmare.
As I usually in all the reviews of the works that I enter this blog, not the end I desvelo. I simply try to leave an impression of what provokes me reading the book. The impression that leaves me this work is sorry, as I said earlier, for the loneliness of the character in his madness. And Dostoievski admiration does not disappoint. Only disappoints the injustice that literary criticism has done with this work, leaving aside and allowing to pass unnoticed over the years. I encourage you to discover it.
