	Tolstoy uses an interior dialogue, much like Dostoyevsky used for Raskolnikov's interior monologue, dipping into his stream of consciousness, in Crime and Punishment. Tolstoy fills Anna's interior monologue with her own monologue about her feelings. And Tolstoy is able to fluidly switch a paragraph later to describing Vronsky's mentality in as much detail.

	We are told much about our characters from observations about their behavior, toward others around them, their behavior when they're alone, the ambiguous twinkles in their eyes or screwing up of the eyes - whatever that means...

	Despite the harsh circumstances besetting his own life - abject poverty, incessant gambling, the death of his firstborn child - Dostoyevsky produced a second masterpiece, The Idiot, just two years after completing Crime and Punishment. Int it, a saintly man, Prince Myshkin, is thrust into the heart of a society more concerned with wealth, power and sexual conquest than with the ideals of Christianity. Myshkin soon finds himself at the center of a violent love triangle in which a notorious woman and a beautiful young girl become rivals for his affections. Extortion, scandal and murder follow, testing Myshkin's moral feelings as Dostoyevsky searches through the wreckage left by human misery to find "man in man." The Idiot is a quintessentially Russian novel, one that penetrates the complex psyche of the Russian people. "They call me a psychologist," wrote Dostoyevsky. "That is not true. I'm only a realist in the higher sense; that is, I portray all the depths of the human soul."
