Part five, further analyses and discussion. So we've read notes from underground. We've given it a wonderful red edition. We've also had the life of Dostoyevsky. We've held back with if any analysis whatsoever. So we're going to give some of our evaluation, draw some links in this section as well,

and generally give our thoughts about what we thought about the whole Dostoevsky experience.

Mr. Rale-Marley, does there anything you want to get off your chest at this stage of the show?

Yeah, let's go for it.

So I think that it's quite interesting reading this novel now,

And what does that mean?

It sounds like a bit of a wishy-washy thing to say.

So if you take this book and put it in different time zones and context,

you will get different people responding to it in quite interesting ways.

So, for example, one thing that I find quite interesting is that,

especially in the kind of the 1960s and 70s, there was this big focus on interesting is that especially in the kind of the

1960s and 70s, there was this big focus on the idea that one of the key themes within

the scholarship of the novel was loneliness. Right. That the underground man is incredibly
