Dostoyevsky Response
Notes from Underground is the narrative of a slightly mad, extremely alienated recluse set in St. Petersburg in the mid 1800s. The text is divided into two parts: in the first, the anonymous Underground Man describes his views of the world, society, and human nature, most of which stem from his inability to integrate himself into society; the second part describes events in the Underground Man's life that explain how he descended into madness and isolation.
The events in Part II are quite simple: one afternoon, the protagonist visits an old friend, and invites himself to a dinner for a mutual acquaintance.
