De speler

The protagonist’s reckless pursuit of luck feels so personal and raw. I wonder what inspired Dostoevsky to explore this addiction so deeply.

The way the characters’ choices seem almost dictated by luck made me question whether the story suggests we’re at the mercy of forces beyond control or if there’s hope for agency.

The internal struggles and impulsiveness felt so vivid. I wonder how much of this was based on Dostoevsky’s own mental health or observations.
