Style and Technique

In «The Meek One», Fyodor Dostoevsky employs a unique style characterized by deep psychological development of characters and their internal conflicts. The story is told in the first person, allowing the reader to delve deeper into the consciousness of the main character and feel his experiences. The language of the work is rich with emotional and philosophical reflections, emphasizing the drama and tragedy of the events. Dostoevsky masterfully uses internal monologues and stream of consciousness to reveal the complex psychological states of the characters. The narrative structure is non-linear, allowing the author to gradually unveil the plot details and the characters' motives. Literary devices such as symbolism and allegory help convey the depth and complexity of the themes, exploring questions of morality, guilt, and redemption. Special attention is given to dialogues, which serve as a means of revealing the characters and their relationships.
