The Dream of a Ridiculous Man

Dostoevsky’s short story The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (1877) explores several profound philosophical and existential themes, characteristic of his later works. The dream sequence presents an Eden-like civilization untouched by lies, greed, or violence. When the protagonist corrupts these innocent beings by introducing sin (like his own world’s vices), he mirrors the biblical Fall of Man, suggesting that human nature is inherently susceptible to corruption.
