Pierre o delle Ambiguità

Melville's nuanced take on human nature feels deeply personal and philosophical. I'm curious what personal or societal influences shaped this complex portrayal.

His quest for understanding himself and the world around him made me question how much of our identity is constructed. Am I the only one who felt uneasy about his mental unraveling?

The dark, Gothic atmosphere adds layers to the story, but I wonder if it also distracts or deepens the themes of moral uncertainty. What’s everyone's take?
