Dostoevsky’s novel The Idiot. Such a meaning-forming symbolic detail, a thingthrough which reveals not only the essence of the personality of the protagonist, butalso the background of intrigues and plot conflicts tied around him, is the bundlewith which Prince Myshkin returns from Switzerland to St. Petersburg. The detail isdissonant with the appearance of the Prince, and at the same time it is inseparablefrom the hero’s personality. The bundle marks the personality of Prince Myshkin,contributing to the emergence of an aura of strangeness, absurdity, and incomprehensibilityaround him. It symbolizes one of the main features of his personality –duality. The bundle becomes an emblem that characterizes the semantic contentof the Prince’s actions and intentions. It shapes the deep subtext of the relationstied between the characters at the beginning of the novel, helping to reveal andunderstand their essence.
