Uncle's Dream

Style and Technique

In "Uncle's Dream," Fyodor Dostoevsky employs a satirical style to mock provincial manners and human weaknesses. The language of the work is lively and ironic, allowing the author to create vivid and memorable characters. Dostoevsky masterfully uses dialogues to reveal the characters' personalities and their internal contradictions. Literary devices such as hyperbole and grotesque emphasize the comedic nature of the situations and the absurdity of the events. The structure of the story is built around the central event — the arrival of the wealthy uncle, which becomes the catalyst for the plot's development and the intensification of conflicts among the characters. The author pays attention to details, creating the atmosphere of a provincial town and conveying the characters' moods through their actions and speech.
