| Summary | "Stavrogin's Confession and The Plan of The Life of a Great Sinner" by F. M. Dostoevsky is a fictional work written in the early 20th century, though it explores themes that resonate with the moral and existential dilemmas of the mid-19th century. This work combines an insightful confession from the troubled character Nikolai Stavrogin with a broader sketch of Dostoevsky's unwritten novel about a great sinner's life. The text delves deep into themes of guilt, redemption, and the psychological complexities of human nature. At the start of the narrative, Nikolai Vsevolodovich Stavrogin is introduced as a man grappling with profound inner turmoil and moral ambiguity. He has sleepless nights and finds himself in a state of unrest as he contemplates visiting Bishop Tikhon at a nearby monastery. The opening section details his encounters with various characters and the conflicting perceptions they hold of him, presenting a picture of a man increasingly haunted by his own past, specifically a dark episode connected to a young girl named Matryosha. As the narrative unfolds, its dramatic and introspective tone invites readers to explore the depths of Stavrogin's psyche and the existential questions surrounding sin, responsibility, and the search for understanding in the face of inescapable guilt.
