Abstract: This paper explores the portrayal of Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin as a modern Christ figure in Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel The Idiot. Through Myshkin's embodiment of pure Christian virtue, Dostoevsky examines the possibility of absolute goodness in a morally compromised world. The paper argues that Myshkin's tragic fate illustrates the impossibility of sustaining pure goodness in a society that neither understands nor values it, highlighting the spiritual poverty and moral bankruptcy of the Russian aristocracy.
