I can see in this short story the Christian nationalism that eventually came to define Dostoevsky at the end of his life - and that makes me so dislike him personally as much as I love his works. The story itself is less of a story structurally and more of a thought experiment. Through the narrator Dostoevsky speaks of his own philosophy. Yet the final note, when our narrator says people ought to love each other as they love themselves, rings discordant to me. I wonder if hat was on purpose, if Dostoevsky was in some ways undermining our narrator.
All in all it was a good enough story, though I am a little nervous about reading the Brothers Karamazov after this. At the end of the day I have enjoyed other late Dostoevsky works, so I'm not going to focus on it too much. For now.
